Deeply humbled to receive the AAPI Award for Transformational Social Work and Indo-US Partnership at the 44th Annual AAPI Convention and Scientific Assembly in Tampa, Florida, USA.

This honour recognises my long journey in social service, education, healthcare and humanitarian work, along with my efforts to strengthen the partnership between India and the United States. I dedicate this honour to the entire KIIT, KISS & KIMS family, who have always stood with me in this journey of education, healthcare and service to society.

I also delivered the keynote address before eminent physicians and healthcare leaders of Indian origin and shared my simple belief that education, healthcare and service to humanity must always go together.

My heartfelt thanks to AAPI President Dr. Amit Chakrabarty, Convention Chair Dr. Sagar Galwankar, Convener Dr. Raghu Juvvadi and the entire AAPI family for this honour and affection.
