LOL; I missed you. :-)

This Sesh Velamoor doesn't ever discuss where his degrees are from; I found this from 1967 at University of Minnesota:

UN1VERSITY OF MINNESOTA
NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455
TELEPHONE: 373-2126
MARCH 27, 1967

An entirely new format will be employed this year when the foreign students at the University of Minnesota present their ninth annual International Spring Festival Friday. Saturday and Sunday, April 7. 8 and 9, at the University, according to Seshadri Velamoor, an Indian graduate student in industrial engineering who is this year's festival chairman.

He and FFF hold seminars for UNESCO. He is a globalist. He is also a "facilitator" for UNESCO conferences.

Also this (the brief on this symposium is a 500-pg pdf file):

Humanity 3000

The fundamental objective of the Foundation For the Future’s Humanity 3000 program is to bring together prominent thinkers from around the world in a multidisciplinary framework to ponder issues that are most likely to have a significant impact on the long-term future of humanity.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Humanity 3000 is one of the major program components of Foundation For the Future, based in Bellevue, Washington. This international seminar and symposium series was created in 1998 and formally launched in 1999 with two seminars that were precursors of the first major Symposium, held in 2000.

Those two seminars and the Symposium composed the first cycle of Humanity 3000 events. The second-year cycle was launched with Seminar No. 3. The purposes of Humanity 3000 are: to use a multi- disciplinary approach to assess the current status of humanity, to identify the most significant factors that may affect the quality of life of the people of the Earth now and into the thousand-year future, to map the territory (past and present) of these factors and suggest trajectories, and to outline the problems and opportunities related to these factors for the long-term future.

In addition, the program holds workshops to provide a base of knowledge on individual factors identified as important to humanity’s future.

ORGANIZING COMMITTEE In the spring of 1998, the Foundation selected an Organizing Committee for Humanity 3000, composed of scientists, scholars, educators, and futurists from North America, Europe, and Australia. This committee provided guidance to the Foundation in the areas of program design, participant selection, and venue.

Sesh Velamoor, Director of Programs, integrated the work of the Organizing Committee into the final seminar and symposium format.

Members of the Organizing Committee included: Clement Bezold, Institute for Alternative Futures; Joseph Coates, Consulting Futurist, Inc.; Brian Fagan, University of California, Santa Barbara; Barbara Marx Hubbard, Foundation for Conscious Evolution; Sohail Inayatullah, International Management Centres; Charles Johnston, Institute for Creative Development; Graham Molitor, Public Policy Forecasting, Inc.; Siro Polo Padolecchia, European Institute for Futures Studies; and Allen Tough, University of Toronto.

I pulled up one of the names on that list at random, BARBARA MARX HUBBARD:

wiki link

New Age author, Barbara Marx Hubbard, as she put a fitting conclusion on "The State of the World Forum." In her book, THE BOOK OF CO-CREATION, she writes: "Out of the full spectrum of the human personality, one-fourth is elected to transcend and one-fourth are destructive, defective seeds. In the past they were permitted to die a natural death. Now, as we approach the quantum shift from the creature-human to the co-creative human - the human who is an inheritor of god-like powers - the destructive one-fourth must be eliminated from the social body. Fortunately, you are not responsible for this act. We are. We are in charge of God's selection process for planet Earth. He selects - we destroy. We are the riders of the pale horse, Death."

While she frequently mentions technology as a major component of how humanity will "co-create" its future, she is clear that Conscious Evolution is "at the core a spiritually-motivated endeavor." Her broad and unattributed claims about the potential for technologies such as scalable quantum computing, clinical immortality, unlimited zero point energy, and an integrated space/Earth environment do not enjoy widespread scientific consensus.

The importance of population control is also a recurrent theme in Hubbard's work. In The Revelation: A Message of Hope for the New Millennium she writes:

[In 1966] I saw, perhaps most fundamentally of all, that the vast effort of humanity to "be fruitful and multiply" would have to be curtailed in our generation. One more doubling of the world population will destroy our life support system. Our Mother will not support us if we continue to grow in numbers! We must stop.
