This award was presented at the annual awards gala of AIA held at the iconic Cipriani Hall, 42nd Street, New York.

AIA is the grassroot National Organization of Asian Immigrants in the United States, fostered on the democratic principles of “one member one vote”, with chapters and membership spread across the United States of America. AIA represents the hopes and aspirations of those immigrants who are united by their common bond of “Indian Heritage and American Commitment.”
