Pankajj Chaturvedi, executive director and CEO, Rich Graviss Products, Manoj Nair, former CEO, VIBGYOR Net Communications, Sunder Ashok Genomal, managing director, Jockey India, Thomas Chandy, founder &

CMD Hosmat Hospitals, are the others, who have volunteered to sing.

The event, organised by Genesis Foundation, will comprise invitees who have agreed to pay for their table and some who have volunteered to sponsor.
