Atlanta, GA, September 16, 2024: Tejas Patwa, a well-known figure in Atlanta’s technology and spiritual communities, was recently elected to the board of the Gwinnett County Public Library. A recent Facebook post by the Gwinnett County Public Library Foundation welcomed Patwa along with four other new board members.
Patwa’s journey is marked by an illustrious academic and professional career. An electrical engineer by education, he later enhanced his skills by becoming a certified Software Programmer through IBM. After moving to Orlando, Florida, in 2001, he earned an AutoCAD certification from Mid Florida Tech, which opened doors for him in the control engineering field in Atlanta. Over the years, he has worked on numerous high-profile projects for the US government, power plants, automotive giants like Tesla, Volkswagen, and Ford, and has been involved in process automation in various industries. In July 2023, Patwa founded Radiant Control Systems, a company specializing in system integration, including waste and clean water automation, where he currently serves as CEO.
Patwa has also dedicated a significant portion of his life to his spiritual pursuits. He is one of the founding members of Gokuldham – Pushtimargiya Haveli in Atlanta, established in 2008. Under his leadership as Executive Secretary, Gokuldham has grown into the largest community of Vaishnavs in the Southeast region. He also serves as Principal of Gokuldham Vidhyalaya, where more than 200 children from kindergarten to eighth grade learn about Indian culture and language. Patwa’s community efforts extend to Austin, Texas, where he is also a founding member of Nandgam Haveli.
In November 2022, Patwa was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Management by University Azteca, recognizing his achievements in both professional and community leadership.
Patwa’s appointment to the Gwinnett County Public Library Board aligns with the library’s mission of providing creative, customer-friendly access to educational and informational resources that enrich the community. His diverse background in engineering, entrepreneurship, and community leadership is expected to bring a unique perspective to the board’s efforts in furthering the library’s vision.
