Alumni Recognition Awards

I am so grateful to INSEAD for the life skills I learnt, especially the power of diversity of thought and talent. It also gave me friends that have lasted a lifetime … and I met Maria, my wife, as we completed our MBAs together. INSEAD has been a global leader for decades, built on its truly unique international perspective and heritage. I am deeply honoured to receive this award.”

In my work to help build healthier futures with businesses, governments and communities, I was able count on the INSEAD family at every critical juncture.

INSEAD laid the foundation for my entrepreneurial career. I am honoured to receive this award specifically at a time when the Indian start-up ecosystem is coming of age. I hope this encourages more INSEADers to initiate their entrepreneurial journeys and advance the school's motto of using 'Business as a Force for Good'.

It's been a huge pleasure to contribute to the School and the community that have given so much to me - starting with the scholarship that allowed me to accept my place in the Class of '09J. I will continue to encourage the generosity of my fellow alumni since giving back to INSEAD – and paying it forward – is the best investment we can make.
