==Early life and education==
Shetty grew up in [[Bangalore]]. His late mother, Hemlatha Shetty, was active in women's groups and his father, [[V. T. Rajshekar|V.T. Rajshekar]], was active with the [[Dalit]] movement. Growing up in India in the tumultuous 1970s, he lived through the [[The Emergency (India)|1976 state of emergency]] which led to human rights being curtailed and an intense level of activism.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/aug/15/salil-shetty-amnesty-international-leader|title=Salil Shetty: Amnesty International's new voice in the fight against injustice|last=Manzoor|first=Sarfraz|date=2010-08-14|work=The Guardian|access-date=2019-01-02|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}}</ref> He did his schooling from St. Joseph's Indian High School, Bangalore.

== Early career ==
In 1983, Salil Shetty was hired from IIM-A by [[Azim Premji]] and began working for the Indian IT company [[Wipro]].

=== ActionAid ===
Following this, Shetty joined [[ActionAid]], one of the world's most respected international development NGOs, rising up to head ActionAid's operations in India and later Kenya in East Africa. Shetty was the first person from the global south to be appointed as the Chief Executive of [[ActionAid]], 1998- 2003. Salil Shetty is credited with not just transforming [[ActionAid]] into a Southern-led International organisation, moving its global headquarters from [[London]] to [[Johannesburg]] in South Africa, but set off an important new trend in global development organisations to become more participatory and bottom up in their approach.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.devex.com/news/sponsored/internationalizing-your-ngo-4-lessons-from-actionaid-84477|title='Internationalizing' your NGO: 4 lessons from ActionAid|date=2014-10-06|website=Devex|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref> The most recent major global organisation to move in this direction is [[Oxfam]] which has moved its headquarters to [[Nairobi]], with an African woman CEO.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blogs.oxfam.org/en/blogs/16-07-22-oxfam-international-signs-historic-deal-move-nairobi-kenya|title=Oxfam International signs historic deal to move to Nairobi. Kenya {{!}} Oxfam International Blogs|website=blogs.oxfam.org|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref>

The move initiated by Salil Shetty enable [[ActionAid]] to work towards giving all its different country programmes a more equal say in how the organisation works. The new structure made [[ActionAid]]'s commitment to accountability to the people, communities and countries it worked with a reality, and therefore making it more effective in fighting and eradicating poverty.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.actionaid.org/who-we-are/history|title=History {{!}} ActionAid|website=www.actionaid.org|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref> In line with Shetty's commitment to making [[ActionAid]] a truly international organisation, during his tenure as Chief Executive regional programmes and policy advocacy offices were established in [[Bangkok]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.actionaid.org/where-we-work/asia-australia/about-us-thailand|title=About us in Thailand {{!}} ActionAid|website=www.actionaid.org|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref> [[Harare]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.actionaid.org/zimbabwe/about-us|title=About us {{!}} ActionAid|website=www.actionaid.org|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref> [[Brussels]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.actionaid.org/where-we-work/europe|title=Europe {{!}} ActionAid|website=www.actionaid.org|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref> and [[Washington, D.C.|Washington DC]].

=== UN Millennium Campaign ===
Given his significant achievements at ActionAid, Shetty was then appointed the Director of the [[United Nations Millennium Campaign]] from 2003 till 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.un.org/press/en/2003/bio3542.doc.htm|title=SALIL SHETTY APPOINTED AS DIRECTOR OF MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS CAMPAIGN {{!}} Meetings Coverage and Press Releases|website=www.un.org|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref> The [[UN Millennium Campaign]] was established by UN Secretary General [[Kofi Annan]] in 2002. The Campaign supported citizens' efforts to hold their governments to account for the achievement of the [[Millennium Development Goals|Millennium Development Goals (MDG's)]]. Under Salil Shetty's leadership the campaign for the MDGs reached over a hundred countries across the globe and the MDGs gained a great deal of traction among decision makers and citizens alike.

In 2005, citizens groups, including NGOs, faith groups, trade unions, supported by the Millennium Campaign, mobilised for the MDGS/‘[[Make Poverty History]]’ campaign to increase awareness and pressuring governments into taking actions towards relieving absolute poverty. The campaign focused on the responsibility of developed countries, especially the [[Group of Eight|G8]] and [[European Union]]. The three focus areas for change were trade, debt and aid. Mass mobilisations were seen in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Norway and other developed countries.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4234811.stm|title=Campaign bids to end poverty trap|date=2005-02-04|access-date=2019-01-02|language=en-GB}}</ref>

The UN Millennium Campaign, under the leadership of Salil Shetty, also helped aggregate the various national campaigns into The [[Global Call to Action Against Poverty|Global Call to Action Against Poverty GCAP)]]. GCAP is an alliance that brings together trade unions, international non-governmental organisations, the women's and youth movements, community and faith groups and others to call for action from world leaders in the global North and South to meet their promises to end poverty and inequality. GCAP added to existing campaigning on poverty by forming diverse, inclusive national platforms that are able to open up civil society space and advocate more effectively than individual organisations would be able to do on their own. It also organised global mass mobilisations that expressed solidarity between the global North and South, allowed tens of millions of ordinary people to make their voices heard.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.globaleducationmagazine.com/global-call-action-poverty-gcap/ | title=Global Call to Action against Poverty (GCAP)|website=Global Education Magazine|access-date=19 January 2019}}</ref>

An innovative mass action launched by the UN Millennium Campaign was the ''[[Stand Up and Take Action|Stand Up]]'' initiative. On 16 October 2006, millions of people around the world joined together to 'Stand Up against Poverty' – an effort to remind governments that they must keep their promises to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and eradicate extreme poverty. Stand Up against Poverty, is also officially recognized in the [[Guinness World Records|Guinness World Record]] for the "greatest number of people to stand up for a given cause, at multiple locations, within 24 hours." Stand Up campaigns were held around the world by people of all ages, races and religions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.unicef.org/childsurvival/index_36175.html|title=Millions 'Stand Up against Poverty' and support the Millennium Development Goals {{!}} Young child survival and development {{!}} UNICEF|website=www.unicef.org|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref> Since 2006, the UN Millennium Campaign organized record breaking Stand Up events annually around the world, to campaign for the MDGs.

== Amnesty International ==
Shetty was appointed as Secretary General of the human rights organization [[Amnesty International]] from July 2010. The role involved being chief strategist, advocate and spokesperson for the global Amnesty movement and Chief Executive of the International Secretariat.

During his tenure at Amnesty, Salil Shetty traveled extensively, visiting over 70 countries, meeting grassroots activists, political leaders and members of the media, as well as those on whose behalf Amnesty International campaigns. This has included visits to Egypt in the aftermath of the 2011 uprisings<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-egypt-amnesty-interview-idUSTRE75M5OF20110623|title=Amnesty head says Egypt needs more than fair vote|date=2011-06-23|work=Reuters|access-date=2019-01-02|language=en}}</ref> and to Australia to campaign for the rights of indigenous people.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2015/06/australia-must-back-indigenous-expertise-to-end-crisis-of-childrens-incarceration/|title=Australia must back Indigenous expertise to end crisis of children’s incarceration|website=www.amnesty.org|language=en|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref> He also represented Amnesty International at major meetings at the [[United Nations|UN]], the [[World Economic Forum]] and led the organisation's show of solidarity in Oslo for the imprisoned [[Nobel Peace Prize]] Laureate [[Liu Xiaobo]] calling on the Chinese authorities to improve their human rights record.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/24000/org100032012en.pdf|title=Salil Shetty Bio|website=www.amnesty.org|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref>[[File:Salil Shetty at the Wikimania 2014 opening ceremony 03.jpg|thumb|Salil Shetty at the 2014 Wikimania Conference]]
Shetty was also instrumental in establishing the Secretary General's [https://www.amnesty.org/en/about-us/the-secretary-generals-global-council/ Global Council], which was established to help raise public support and financial resources to fuel Amnesty International's expansion in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. The goal of the Global Council is to raise financial resources and support for projects connected to Amnesty International's [https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/pol10/3137/2016/en/ Strategic Goals 2016-2019]. These goals seek to address the rising inequality the world is facing, increasing movement of people within and across borders, ongoing crises and conflicts, unlawful actions by states in the name of public order and ending terrorism. Salil Shetty invited [[Richard Branson|Sir Richard Branson]] to co-Chair the Council which had leading human rights supporters from the world of art, business and philanthropy including [[Paulo Coelho]], [[Yoko Ono]], [[Tony Fernandes]], [[Hadeel Ibrahim]], [[Bassim Haidar]] and [[Krishna Rao (journalist)|Krishna Rao]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.amnesty.org/en/about-us/the-secretary-generals-global-council/|title=The Secretary General's Global Council|website=www.amnesty.org|language=en|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref>

As Secretary General, Salil Shetty revived Art for Amnesty and the [[Ambassador of Conscience Award]], Amnesty International's highest honour that recognizes remarkable individuals and groups who have promoted and enhanced the cause of human rights by acting on their conscience, confronting injustice and using their talents to inspire others.

After completing two terms of four years each, Salil Shetty decided to step down as Secretary General in July 2018.

=== Global Transition Programme ===
As Secretary General, Salil Shetty led a major change process to transform Amnesty International from being a predominantly European organisation to a truly global people's movement for human rights. This Global Transition Programme (GTP) to move Amnesty "closer to the ground"<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.amnesty.org.uk/files/iin_mar_2013_gtp_0.pdf|title=GTP Roadmap|website=www.amnesty.org.uk|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref> represented a significant organizational change for Amnesty: it set up Regional Offices across the globe in 11 locations, hired the vast majority of its staff and leaders from the global south. The change process also focused on strengthening the integration across segments and functions within the organization and strengthening Amnesty's national chapters/sections, particularly in the South.

Amnesty also aimed to increase its supporters and activists in the global South, while diversifying its institutional sources of funding. The change process was aimed to lead to "Amnesty having significantly greater impact by becoming a more global movement" and to result in "acting with greater legitimacy, speed, capacity and relevance as we stand alongside those whose rights are violated".<ref name=":0" /> New national offices were set up in [[India]], [[Brazil]], [[Nigeria]], [[Indonesia]], [[South Africa]] and [[Kenya]] in 2012.

An independent study conducted by the [https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/Moynihan_TNGO.asp Transnational NGO Initiative] housed at [[Syracuse University]] on the Global Transition programme observed that the Global Transition Programme had resulted in only a modest increase in the human rights impact of Amnesty's work.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Final Assessment: Amnesty's Global Transition Programme|publisher=Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs|location=New York|pages=9}}</ref> The report also found that Amnesty's visibility in national and regionally salient media and localities and languages was somewhat enhanced, while its credibility among the general public and other stakeholders was generally thought to have improved as a result of the GTP. GTP also contributed to Amnesty's supportership growth strategy through the increase of supporters in a few selected countries such as India.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/moynihan/tngo/News/Final_Assessment_of_Amnesty_International_s_Global_Transition_Program_Completed_by_the_TNGO_Initiative_Goes_Public/|title=Amnesty International Global Transition Program|date=2018-05-15|website=The Maxwell School of Syracuse University|language=en|access-date=2019-01-02}}</ref>

=== Decentralisation controversy and staff suicides ===

The decentralisation of Amnesty International's international secretariat, led by Shetty, caused a serious dispute amongst the organisation's staff. According to an article published by the Guardian on 2 December 2012, staff objected to leadership reneging on long-standing terms and conditions, including severance, immediately prior to initiating job cuts, resulting in the first ever vote to strike by the organisation's employees.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2012-12-02|title=Amnesty International staff battle management over restructuring|url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/02/amnesty-international-staff-management-restructuring|access-date=2021-06-04|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref>
The British newspaper ''The Observer'', where Amnesty International's founder launched the organization in 1961, characterized the situation caused by Shetty's sacking of staff working on core issues such as women's rights and the death penalty: "Amnesty was one of 20th-century Britain's greatest gifts to the world. Now it is a wreck."<ref>{{cite web|last=Cohen|first=Nick|title=Amnesty International staff battle management over restructuring|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/nov/11/nick-cohen-is-amnesty-fit-fight|work=The Observer|accessdate=15 March 2014}}</ref>{{quote|the core of the dispute lies in the decision, led by the secretary general, Salil Shetty, to take the organisation "closer to the ground", opening 10 new regional "hubs" in hotspots where human rights violations occur. Some of Amnesty's 500 staff in London will be moved abroad, and those affected argue that the shift is under-planned, ill-judged and risks muddying the purpose of the organisation. For them this is not an industrial dispute over job cuts, but a battle for the organisation's soul.<ref>{{cite news|last=Topping|first=Alexandra|title=Amnesty International staff battle management over restructuring|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/02/amnesty-international-staff-management-restructuring|work=The Guardian|accessdate=31 January 2016|location=London|date=8 June 2015}}</ref>}}On 25 May 2018, Amnesty International's West Africa researcher, [[Gaëtan Mootoo]], was found dead in the organization's offices in Paris. Five weeks later, Roz McGregor, a paid intern in Amnesty International's Geneva office, committed suicide in an apparently unrelated incident.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-10-22|title=Amnesty faces scrutiny as inquiry links Paris worker's suicide to his job|url=http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/oct/22/amnesty-faces-scrutiny-as-inquiry-links-paris-workers-suicide-to-his-job|access-date=2021-06-04|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref> Shetty stood down as Secretary General in July 2018 shortly after the deaths. The friends and families of both employees cited concerns about Amnesty's organizational culture as contributing factors in their deaths, leading the organization to order two independent inquiries. The first, carried out by the KonTerra Group was tasked with investigating Amnesty's workplace culture and the wellbeing of its employees, while the second examined the circumstances of Gaetan Mootoo's death and was conducted by James Laddie QC.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=A Review of the Death of Gaetan Mootoo by James Laddie QC|url=https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/org60/9413/2018/en/|journal=}}</ref> Both reports were highly critical of Amnesty International's senior leadership. In particular, the KonTerra Group report found that "bullying and public humiliation was used as a management tool" and that the "management-related issues observed went well beyond normal failures of effective management in high pressure contexts".<ref name=":2">{{Cite book|title=Amnesty International Staff Wellbeing Review|publisher=KonTerra Group|location=https://www.amnesty.org/download/Documents/ORG6097632019ENGLISH.PDF|pages=40}}</ref> The report concluded that "senior staff bear responsibility for the toxic culture that currently exists. Staff fear senior leadership [...] many individuals feel overwhelmed, underappreciated and generally miserable".<ref name=":2" />

== Open Society Foundation ==
On June 9, 2021 it was announced that Shetty would become the Vice President of Global Programs at the Open Society Foundation on September 1, 2021.<ref name=":3" />
