NEW YORK: A leading India-born entrepreneur and author has been honoured by New York City Mayor Eric Adams for her pioneering efforts to foster cross-cultural exchange and contribution to the city’s vibrant South Asian community.
Anu Sehgal, founder and president of The Culture Tree, was honoured at an event here with a citation by Adams at the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Reception 2023, media reports said on May 26.
Sehgal was one of six honorees and the only South Asian awarded during the special commemoration attended by prominent members of the diaspora and AAPI communities.
The citation applauded Sehgal for her efforts to foster cross-cultural exchange while uniting our vibrant South Asian community.
In March this year, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, Sehgal was among a cohort of trailblazing women, and the only one from India, to be honoured by the Society of Foreign Consuls in New York at a special event held at the Consulate General of India in New York.
