Ilayaraaja's father passed away when he was very young and his mother sold peanuts in Thirunindravur railway station. Unable to educate him, his mother left Ilayaraja at Sevalaya when he was a small boy. Here, he completed his schooling successfully and went on to complete his higher studies in Computer Science with the help of Sevalaya. Today, Ilayaraja is a globe-trotting software engineer in a leading IT firm abroad. After he expressed his eagerness to contribute back to the community which raised him, Ilayaraaja became one of the trustees. Whenever he is in India, he spends all his weekend with the children, thus providing a living role model for the Sevalaya children.
Ilayaraaja's story is one of the many success stories from Sevalaya alumni who continue to highly achieve in their lives and various pursuits after leaving, all while keeping a close bond with Sevalaya and its community.
