Award Acceptance Speech

This is a most cherished award- an award for pursuing research, which can be tough in the private sector with several competing demands on your time. There were many who believed I could and I am really grateful to each one who pushed me, stood by me and supported me, selflessly.

A big salute to Dr. Ramandeep Arora, who showed me the merit in numbers and data and to Dr. Harit Chaturvedi who never ceases to get excited by a research question.

Thank you Dr. Vinitaa Jha, Dr. Poorvee Mathur for relentlessly pursuing every good idea and providing the right platform to launch the same. Gratitude to Saroj Sabath, Rajesh Saxena, for being a part of the pain and the pride!

A big shout out to my colleagues in Oncology and to my dear fellows over the years- Dr. Mallika, Dr. Sandhya, Dr. Naresh Guthula, Dr. Hina Afsar, Shreya Sardana, Dr. Abhishek, Dr. Gs Divya, Dr. Preeti, Dr. Sneha Galande, and Dr. Ritika Bhandari – who have done all the digging into the data and helped publish on a regular basis. Love you all 💕💕as I dedicate this award to each one of you!

Thank you for this honour Max Healthcare and Pfizer. Dr. Gaurav Aggarwal
