About Indra Sen

Indra Sen is a small business owner, investor, and firefighter living in his hometown of Ridgefield, CT. 

Indra was born in Connecticut to immigrants from China and India. With thanks to Ridgefield’s K-12 Public Schools, Indra had the opportunity to attend Georgetown University, where he won a Truman Scholarship, was elected Phi Beta Kappa, and received the Thomas P. McTighe Prize — the university’s highest honor. Indra earned his Master’s Degree in Public Policy from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, where he was a recipient of a Harvard Public Service Fellowship.

Indra previously worked on a winning presidential campaign, co-founded a non-profit that was recognized by President Clinton, and led construction teams in post-Katrina Louisiana. Indra also helped launch a universal pre-K initiative in CT’s largest city and served as a management consultant for the Bridgespan Group.

Indra is married to his college sweetheart, Christine, and is the proud father of two sons who now attend Ridgefield Public Schools.
