Sahasra Jonnalagadda

Co-Founder and Executive Director

Sahasra Jonnalagadda, a high school senior with a deep passion for politics, economics, and business, founded InnovateUSA after recognizing a gap in business knowledge among her peers. This insight led her to launch an educational campaign focused on promoting the American Enterprise system and fostering a deeper understanding of business principles.

Sahasra's commitment to empowering others through education drives the mission of InnovateUSA. Her experience as a Virginia Senate page and a Congressional campaign intern helped her discover her niche interest at the intersection of politics and education.


As the Co-Founder and Executive Director of InnovateUSA, she oversees the overall vision, strategy, and execution of the campaign and is responsible for guiding the project's direction. Sahasra is excited to expand InnovateUSA and work alongside her team to ensure the campaign's success.
