Four Indian-Americans were
among the eleven 2018 recipients of the
Emory Entrepreneur Awards for alumni.
Those winners, to be honored at The
Gathering Spot on February 7, 2019,
were Vivek Garipalli, Ashish Mistry, and
Rohit Malhotra, along with Kanchana
Raman, who was included in our January
Community Newsmakers column. As the Emory Entrepreneur Network points out, each of the eleven honorees demonstrates the highest caliber of innovation and is a founder of a rapidly growing organization.

Vivek Garipalli is the CEO and cofounder of San Francisco-based Clover Health, which relies on data insights and
analytics programs to help caregivers and nurse practitioners do their job better. As a result, patients who are
seniors get more benefit from programs like Medicare.

Ashish Mistry’s Atlanta-based KontrolFreek has enhanced the user experiences of millions of gamers. Its
innovations have drawn the attention of industry leaders like Blizzard and Bungie.

The Center for Civic Innovation, also based in Atlanta, was founded by Rohit Malhotra, who focuses on civic
entrepreneurship, especially among women of color. The issues addressed include food security, education, art
and culture, criminal justice reform, and community engagement. 

Kanchana Raman (photo, left), TiE Atlanta’s past president and current charter mentor and board member, was noted in our January Community Newsmakers column as a recipient of the 2018 Emory Entrepreneur Awards, Technology category, for her success with Avion Networks, Inc. and the work she has done to foster entrepreneurship in the local community. The award was presented by the Emory Entrepreneur Network and Office of Alumni Engagement.
