As India is reeling under a huge crisis, our moral responsibility is to pick up the mantle and do our bit. Numerous people worldwide reached out asking for ways to be of help, but Dr Ashutosh Tewari was one of the first to come up with a concrete plan. This gave me the needed impetus to take this forward and be of service to our nation. People and humanitarians like Mr Baba Kalyani and Dr Ashutosh Tewari help make the world a better place and restore our faith time and again in humanity. I am honoured and pleased to be joining hands with them.”</p>
