Two
Indian-Americans, Adobe Chief Shantanu Narayen and former US Surgeon
General Vivek Murthy are among 38 immigrants to be honoured this year
for their role in helping advance the country’s society, culture and
economy.
Narayen and Murthy will be honoured with the prestigious ‘Great
Immigrants’ annual award on US’s Independence day. Murthy, born in the
UK and a Harvard and Yale alumnus, was appointed by former President
Barack Obama in 2014, becoming the first-ever Indian-American to occupy
the post and also the youngest ever surgeon general of the country.
Narayen, a native of Hyderabad has an undergraduate degree in
electronics engineering, a master’s degree in computer science, and an
MBA from UC Berkeley.
