“My gratitude to Kellogg extends far beyond this award. It was here that I had a learning of many firsts—be it international finance, social entrepreneurship or management communication—that continue to shape me professionally today. I look forward to how I can be more involved with Kellogg in the future,” said Roshni Nadar Malhotra.

“At Kellogg, we prize collaboration, creativity and a commitment to excellence, and Roshni is a beacon of these qualities,” said Francesca Cornelli, dean of the Kellogg School of Management. “Roshni’s pioneering vision and commitment to societal impact have driven powerful results for many communities.
