The addition of billionaire industrialist Manu Chandaria's name to an illustrious list of global philanthropy icons is inarguably the crowning moment of his long, fruitful and inspiring career.
At 93, he was one of five people and one organisation honoured with The 2022 Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy. His acceptance speech, on October 13, was short but powerful, packed with well-calculated words, pauses every so often, the thing of a master strumming a guitar to a tune he has perfected over seven decades.
He loves succinctness. His train of thought is effortlessly sound he often needs just a few gestures and even fewer words to pass his message. When it comes to giving to a worthy cause, however, floodgates open.
