"Mr. Ranadivé's story is truly a remarkable one, and we are thrilled by the opportunity to honor such a deserving individual," notes Harry Gould, event chair.

"The BizWorld Foundation fills a critical need in our society: to inspire and educate the next generation of entrepreneurs," states Mr. Ranadivé. "The youth served by the BizWorld programs become the adults who will change the face of tomorrow. Instilling real-world skills and a passion for success is critical to the health of our future economy. It is my pleasure to join The BizWorld Foundation in bringing attention to this vital mission."
