The National Transgender Awards celebrate individuals whose achievements reflect years of hardwork and courage. By honouring these accomplishments, the awards help bring greater visibility to inspiring stories. #VillooPoonawallaFoundation #PrideBusinessNetworkFoundation #Pride

For 60 years, Serum Institute of India has worked towards one purpose: making quality vaccines more affordable, accessible and available to the people who need them. Guided by Dr. Cyrus S. Poonawalla’s founding vision, this journey began with strengthening self-sufficiency in preventive healthcare in India. Today, it supports immunisation efforts across more than 170 countries. As we mark our 60th Foundation Day, we honour the responsibility that comes with this legacy to continue advancing global immunisation through science-led innovation, reliable manufacturing and equitable access. @adarpoonawalla @NPoonawalla #60YearsofSII #InspiredByScience #ProtectingTheWorld #60YearsofImmunisation #FoundationDay
