As a preview to the experience of a lifetime, ten youngsters from both NGO's were invited last night to witness KKR in action, while they trained, and had the unique chance for autographs and 'selfies' with their favorite Knights and RJ's from 92.7 BIG FM, while also being presented their match tickets for game day and their purple and gold armor.
"We have always embraced the cities we have called home and believe that making strong social contributions is part of our responsibility at a home city. This is our Thank You to Cuttack for making us feel so welcomed," said Venky Mysore, CEO, KKR on the initiative. Continuing on Mr. Ashwin Padmanabhan, Business Head, 92.7 added, "We are thankful to our partners - KKR for this association. 92.7 is the 'Life Banao' radio station and we are glad we could come together to making experiences of a lifetime."
