Honouring the Visionary legacy of SM Krishna

It is with deep sorrow, we bid farewell to SM Krishna, a remarkable leader, visionary reformer, and a trailblazer whose transformative contributions have shaped the trajectory of Karnataka and India.

- KIRAN MAZUMDAR-SHAW CHAIRPERSON, BIOCON

Krishna was a statesman par excellence, whose six-decade-long political career embodied progressive leadership, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to public service.

I had the privilege of witnessing his exceptional leadership firsthand. As part of the Vision Group on Biotechnology, I collaborated with him on ground-breaking policies that propelled Karnataka to the forefront of the global biotechnology landscape.

His foresight set a benchmark for governance, fostering collaboration among industry leaders, policymakers, and academicians to shape transformative policies.

Krishna's life was a testament to the power of visionary leadership rooted in empathy and service.
