The initiative was created by Remit2India and presented by the Amrapali group. The awards ceremony was especially created to honour global Indians who have taken great strides in their careers. Amongst the glam brigade who attended were the sizzling Padma Lakshmi – host of Top Chef, Heroes star Sendhil Ramamurthy, Lisa Ray – host of Top Chef Canada. Hotmail creator Sabeer Bhatia and authors, Amitav Ghosh and Siddhartha Mukherjee. With such an illustrative list of attendees we’re just wondering if any ego clashes occurred?
