Mangalore: SACAA to honour K V Kamath, Sudhir Shetty, three others

Media Release

Mangalore, Mar 20: Five eminent alumnae of St Aloysius College will be honoured by St Aloysius College Alumna/e Association (SACAA) at the Aloysian Conclave to be held at the college campus on March 22.

The recipients were announced by Fr Denzil Lobo, rector, St Aloysius Institutions and patron of SACAA, at a media meet here on Thursday March 20.

Announcing the names of the awardees, Fr Denzil Lobo wryly noted that the Bible says that a prophet is not honoured in his own country. He cited the recent instance of an Indian being elevated to head Microsoft and how Indian media went to town over the event. In contrast, St Aloysius has a long tradition of publicly recognising its alumni for their outstanding achievements and this was the latest instance.

K V Kamath, Charman, ICICI Bank, will deliver the Aloysian Conclave Address and also receive the Eminent Alumnae Award. Kamath had been chairman of Infosys from August 2011 to May 2013. Awarded Padma Bushan in 2008, he has been president of Confederation of Indian Industries, chairman of the society of and board of governors, IIM, Indore and member, board of governors, Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University.

Y Sudhir Kumar Shetty, chief operating officer, global operations, UAE Exchange, president, India Social and Cultural Centre, Abu Dhabi, member and National Anti-Money Laundering Committee, Central Bank, UAE;
