The Foreword By
Dr. Devi Shetty

As someone who has worked to make world-class healthcare accessible to all, I resonate deeply with the idea that solutions to India’s greatest challenges can come from anywhere provided we cultivate our people to think globally and serve locally. We need more Global Indians doctors, engineers, researchers, artists, policy-makers who carry India in their hearts while engaging with the world through their minds and hands.

I congratulate Xavier for capturing this movement with passion and precision. His book is both a roadmap and a mirror. It will help young Indians reflect on who they can become and where they can go and more importantly, what they can bring back.
