Sonu Ratra Recognized With “Doer Award” by Silicon Valley Leadership Group

Last week the Silicon Valley Leadership Group celebrated the valley’s brightest CEO’s, Entrepreneurs, and community leaders at the Celebration of Diversity: Global Roots in Business Dinner. The event, sponsored by Alaska Airlines, celebrates those who dream the impossible, defend the defenseless and do the formidable to make the immigrant story the innovation story in Silicon Valley. The honorees cross industries but have a common interest and passion in making the Silicon Valley experience inclusive, enriching, and uplifting for immigrants in business and our community.

This year, Akraya’s own Sonu Ratra was awarded the Doer Award as a leader who’s everyday actions embody the values set forth by the SV Leadership Group. 

“It was a wonderful evening of celebration and recognition,” said Sonu. “I am honored to be included with so many accomplished individuals.”
