Richard Leder, Director on the Australian Friends of Asha (AFOA) Board, hosted a fantastic event for Asha at the renowned finance firm RSM, in collaboration with the dedicated RSM team members. It was a privilege to have Richard, Shiv Kumar, Sumit, and Dr. Kiran address the gathering, sharing the inspiring stories and achievements of Asha students in Australia.
Special thanks to Richard Leder and Iyra Balaji of RSM for their incredible efforts in organizing this meaningful event. It was wonderful to connect with RSM for the first time, and we look forward to collaborating further in the future.
