MUMBAI: When Singapore-based Aarti Kelshikar, an intercultural coach, was worried about getting her mother and aunt in Mumbai vaccinated for Covid, the best she could do was reach out to professional friends for help. When the matter was posted on IIM Calcutta’s alumni network, Gautam Khanna, CEO of PD Hinduja Hospital, who is also from IIM-C, ensured that the two elderly women got quickly vaccinated.
