Gopal Karunakaran, CEO Shiv Nadar School; Prof. Ajay Rana, Dean, Director & Professor, Amity University; Prof Rajib Dasgupta, Professor and Chairperson, Centre of Social Medicine and Community Health, JNU; Prof Binod Khadria, Chair Professor of Contemporary Indian Studies at School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers, New Jersey USA.
