The CIF Chanchlani Global Indian Award

The CIF Chanchlani Global Indian Award was created by CIF to recognize an individual who demonstrates global leadership, vision and professional excellence.  The Award was made possible through the generous contribution of Vasu Chanchlani, who committed one million dollars as endowment towards the Award fund, and additional monetary commitments from several CIF Charter Members.   The award recipient will receive a custom designed trophy along with a cheque for $50,000, payable to a charitable institution of his/her choice.
