Over the past few weeks, many organisations and business owners of Indian origin based in southern California have been engaged in fund-raising activities to support India in the battle against the deadly second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.
"There are several high-profile Indian Americans in the hospitality industry in southern California. We are engaged in raising funds to support healthcare infrastructure in India through various sources, including our franchise partners such as Hilton Worldwide, Marriott International, Choice Hotels, Ramada Hotels, Holiday Inn and Hyatt," Sunil Tolani, philanthropist and CEO of Los Angeles-based Prince Organization, told TIMESOFINDIA.com. "We are also raising funds through community and religious organisations such as Sikh gurudwaras, Hindu temples and churches."
