Notable past fellows include Charles Dickens, Benjamin Franklin, Stephen Hawking, Karl Marx, and Nelson Mandela.

In November, Vidyadhar was listed among the Top 40 leaders from Europe India who are under 40 years by Europe India Centre for Business and Industry.

The list covers the stories of 24 men and 16 women young leaders across 19 nationalities and their contributions in promoting EU India / UK India relations.

He is selected along with seven other young leaders from India.

“I am very humbled to receive such international recognition. It is very encouraging to receive them during this pandemic. It helps to remain focused on your work and stay positive and motivated”,
