Founded in 1984, the SETI Institute is a non-profit, multidisciplinary research and education organization whose mission is to lead humanity’s quest to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the universe and share that knowledge with the world. SETI’s research encompasses the physical and biological sciences and leverages expertise in data analytics, machine learning and advanced signal detection technologies. The SETI Institute is a distinguished research partner for industry, academia and government agencies, including NASA and NSF. 

Mohanjit Jolly, Partner, Iron Pillar, said, “I am thrilled and honored to serve on this incredible Board where  Nobel laureates have served in the past, and legends like Jill Tarter and Nathalie Cabrol serve today. SETI’s mission encompasses learning through its 100+ scientists and teaching through educational and citizen science programs around the world. My goal is to be a catalyst for the Institute globally, especially for young people in the ‘global south”. 

“There is nothing more unifying, democratizing and inspiring than the topic of space, and no other subject ignites greater curiosity than the search for intelligent life in the universe. I am honored to be part of SETI  Institute’s Board of Trustees in part to help build bridges across the world, especially to India and South Asia,” said Jolly. 

Mohanjit believes that good begets good. That applies to investment, entrepreneurship and life as a whole.  Enthusiastic about coaching ventures to scale, his mantra has helped him forge enduring relationships (and build bridges) globally, especially across the US and India. An abiding passion for technology highlights his years of investing and operating experience.
