Tensions between Canada and India loomed over the Canada India Foundation's Global Indian Award ceremony, where author and Chairperson of Infosys Foundation, Sudha Murty, was honored with the $50,000 prize. Several Canadian leaders, including Premier Doug Ford, were notably absent. Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma emphasized the need for the Indo-Canadian community to foster bilateral relations despite current political strains. He used a mythological analogy, urging for a calm approach akin to Vishnu and Shiva, encouraging efforts in business, advocacy, education, and entrepreneurship. Sudha Murty became the first woman recipient of the Global Indian Award.
