In Berhampur, a small town in India's Ganjam district, the mother of Ravi Kumar S, CEO of Cognizant, couldn't contain her joy when her son was awarded the prestigious Pravasi Bharatiya Samman. Ravi Kumar, who hails from this very town, was one of the 27 recipients of this award at the recent Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention in Bhubaneswar, where he received it from President Droupadi Murmu. He is the sole awardee from Odisha this year.
As a proud mother, 70-year-old S Suvarnamala couldn't stop gushing about her son's achievement. "What more can a mother ask for?

After receiving it, he immediately went to his mother, who was overjoyed to see him.
Recalling her son's journey, the elderly woman shared that Ravi is the eldest of her three sons. He started his education in Berhampur before moving to Jeypore in Koraput district, where her husband Dharmaji Rao, a lecturer, was transferred. Ravi then went on to work as a nuclear scientist at Bhabha Atomic Research Center before joining Infosys and eventually becoming the CEO of Cognizant.
Suvarnamala proudly mentioned that her other two sons are currently serving as doctors in different states. It is evident that Ravi's success has brought immense pride and joy to his family and the entire town of Berhampur.
