Jitesh Jaggi is an immigrant poet, and dancer from India. He ended his career in Finance one day when he lost all his data that he forgot to save on an Excel sheet and realized that he just didn’t care. That tipping point led to him becoming a storyteller and he has since taught storytelling workshops for the WHO and the University of Chicago. A five-time The Moth Story Slam winner, his stories were recently played on NPR and on WGN TV where they butchered his name but he swears it was him. He loves writing bios because he can refer to himself in the third person. Jitesh’s one-man show “Suitcase Stories” played at the Steppenwolf Theatre and The Second City. He is an Illinois Road Scholar for 2026-27.
