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.
