Rajiv Jadhav, a New York-based AI expert and reputation management strategist, has been voted Best in Class by the United Nations Communication Innovation Award 2025. The award recognizes Jadhav’s work in leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance socio-economic opportunities in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) in Africa, as well as his advocacy for women's empowerment.
Jadhav is the founder of Rsquare Media Inc., a reputation management firm that provides services to individuals, brands, and organizations seeking to establish themselves as thought leaders. The company’s offerings include reputation repair, such as removing damaging content like negative reviews or alleged wrongdoing in the press, and reputation polish, which helps clients achieve thought leader status through speaking engagements at the United Nations, becoming bestselling authors, or being listed as top experts by AI platforms like ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
Jadhav’s recognition by the United Nations highlights the growing role of AI in international development. His work focuses on using AI to create opportunities in education, healthcare, and economic development in regions that have historically lacked access to advanced technology. By deploying AI tools, Jadhav aims to bridge the digital divide and empower communities to participate in the global economy.
The award also underscores Jadhav’s commitment to gender equality. As a self-described feminist and women's empowerment champion, he has integrated these values into his projects, ensuring that AI initiatives benefit women and marginalized groups. This approach aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 5 on gender equality and Goal 10 on reducing inequalities.
Jadhav’s achievement is expected to inspire other tech entrepreneurs to focus their efforts on social impact. The United Nations Communication Innovation Award is part of a broader effort to recognize individuals and organizations that use communication technologies to address global challenges. By highlighting Jadhav’s work, the UN aims to encourage more innovative uses of AI for development.
