🌍 One World One Family – Global Leadership Award 2025 🌍

At the One World One Family – World Cultural Festival 2025, Sri Madhusudan Sai Global Humanitarian Mission (SMSGHM) proudly presented the inaugural Global Leadership Award to Padma Shri Prashanth Prakash, Partner at Accel India and a true pioneer of India’s startup revolution.

From Flipkart and Ola to Swiggy and Freshworks, Mr. Prakash has been instrumental in shaping some of India’s most iconic startups. Beyond business, his vision spans deep tech, advanced manufacturing, consumer brands and B2B global value chains – all areas with lasting social and economic impact.

In his acceptance speech, Mr. Prakash shared heartfelt reflections on his Karmabhumi – Nandi Hills, the special vibrancy of Karnataka, and Bangalore’s legacy as the cradle of new beginnings – from pioneering industries to India’s digital revolution. He emphasised:

“India cannot become a truly developed nation without strong healthcare and environmental stewardship. While we’ve excelled in technology and economic progress, we must now ensure we build a nation where people can live and thrive – not just survive. The mission of Sadguru Madhusudan Sai to make this region a global health hub is one of the most inspiring visions I’ve witnessed.”

He also called upon entrepreneurs and the youth to drive innovation in defence, healthcare, and AI over the next two decades, ensuring India gains global leverage in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.

On this occasion, the Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust expresses its heartfelt gratitude to Accel for their collaboration in providing SaiSure Ragi Multi-Nutrient Health Mix to government school children across Karnataka. This partnership is enabling better nutrition, learning, and brighter futures for thousands of young lives.

✨ Congratulations to Prashanth Prakash and Accel India for this well-deserved recognition and for standing as champions of both innovation and impact! ✨
