PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA, May 06, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Marquis Who's Who has selected Suri Anantharama for inclusion in its prestigious biographical registry. Individuals profiled in Marquis Who's Who are chosen based on their current reference value, leadership accomplishments, visibility, and significant impact in their respective fields.

Mr. Anantharama is renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to digital transformation. He is the founder and Chief Technology Officer of Sonline LLC, an Atlanta-based technology firm he has led since 2014. Guided by the core principles of empathize, educate, and empower, he has helped government agencies and enterprises reimagine and elevate their digital capabilities.

A hallmark of his leadership is a focus on legacy system modernization—not merely as a "lift and shift," but as a transformative approach that reshapes the customer experience. Under his direction, Sonline enables clients to reengineer outdated workflows and implement intelligent, scalable solutions that meet the demands of modern users. Each initiative is designed to improve performance, enhance usability, and deliver long-term value.

Believing that "technology exists for the sake of business, not the other way around," Mr. Anantharama ensures that solutions are driven by practical needs, not fleeting trends. His team utilizes the latest in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud technologies to drive real-world impact—from election automation to education platforms.

Among his notable innovations is "AI for Agencies," a conversational AI interface built on the BallotDA platform to support election officials. This tool enables real-time access to precinct turnout data, poll worker payroll, and even complex legal queries—each response traceable to its original document source. It has significantly reduced manual workloads while accelerating decision-making in county election offices.

Mr. Anantharama also spearheaded a global partnership with W4 (Women's WorldWide Web), a Paris-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering girls through education and mentoring. Together, they launched scalable e-learning and e-mentoring initiatives via Sonline's Edukadu platform, enabling personalized learning and cross-cultural guidance across four continents.

Before founding Sonline, Mr. Anantharama served as CTO of Boss Inc., where he helped develop and market the award-winning Support Central solution. He was also an IT Consultant at Capgemini, supporting Citibank operations in Singapore, and began his career as a Senior Systems Analyst at TVS Sundaram Brake Linings Ltd. in India. His early success in creating and marketing Support Central and BOSS 811 laid the groundwork for his entrepreneurial path.

Mr. Anantharama holds a Master of Science in Computer Applications from Indira Gandhi National Open University and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from the University of Madras. He has further strengthened his leadership skills through the CTO Program at The Wharton School, micro master certifications in Digital Product Management and Digital Leadership from Boston University, and professional certifications as a Scrum Master, Project Management Professional (PMP), and graduate of the Dale Carnegie Sales Leadership Program.

Beyond his corporate role, Mr. Anantharama serves as a strategic advisor to Turbostart (since 2023), mentoring startups and guiding C-level executives on product strategy and market positioning. He has also served on the Catalyst Tech Ventures board (2021–2024), the executive board of VARS Corporation (2019–2021), and as Chief Architect at LeadTalks Trust (2018–2019). From 2016 to 2018, he contributed as a board member to the Technology Association of Georgia's Public Sector Group.

Mr. Anantharama's strong commitment to service is reflected in his long-standing volunteer work with GSR Learning Center Inc. since 2015 and his continued involvement with Chinmaya Mission Alpharetta, where he has been teaching Sunday School for over 20 years. A Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM), he has held multiple leadership roles within Toastmasters International. His dedication to professional development includes active participation in the International Association of Exhibitions and Events, keynote speaking engagements at colleges in India, and volunteering with youth programs. He also leads a mentorship initiative titled "Take the First Step," which empowers recent graduates to become confident, job-ready professionals.

Mr. Anantharama credits his achievements to discipline, resilience, and a willingness to embrace challenges—along with the blessings of his parents and elders who have guided his path. He is especially grateful for the unwavering support of his wife, Anandi, who has been a steady pillar of strength throughout his entrepreneurial journey. Looking ahead, he aims to devote more time to public speaking and mentorship, sharing his insights to inspire and empower the next generation of technology leaders.
