Spirit of “Rambo” Ram Krishnaswamy Recognitions
Ram Krishnaswamy “Rambo” happened to be an enigmatic member of that first generation of IITians which actually created the Brand IIT in the first place. At the epitome of the Global Recognition of Brand IIT, specially when the first of the IITs at Kharagpur commemorate its Golden Jubilee, Ram Krishnaswamy founded the IIT Global Movement which became a close to GrassRoots Global Network of IITians dedicated to the service of the nation in the first place, rather than being a platform to merely advance one’s personal professional self-interests.
A one-man institution, Ram Krishnaswamy, brought together an entire community together through his personal charisma and selfless dedication and championed innumerable causes having a long term impact on the Future of India.
Ram Da, as we youngsters used to address him, breathed his last in Sydney on 20th of November 2022 after completing 75 years of an eventful & happening life, inspiring not just his peers, but successive generations of IITians.
ReTHINK INDIA has taken upon itself to continue the Spirit of Ram Da in all its resplendence.
Spirit of Rambo Recognitions
is thereby an attempt to spread the enigma of Ram Da
by honoring that Intrinsic IITian Spirit of Intense Inner Transformation from
Mystical Frontiers of Mind to Mesmerizing Confines of Matter to Majestic Structures of Management
all dedicated to the service of Indian National Interests.
The maiden edition of the same shall be organized on IIT Foundation Day, 18th of August 2023.
Nominations to that effect can be sent to editor@rethinkindia.in.
