This was no ordinary awards ceremony. Onstage in Mumbai stood Dr. Bhagwat Karad, Union Minister of State for Finance — but this time, the applause wasn’t just for his portfolio. It was for a moment that transcended politics and policy. The man had made national headlines for performing CPR on a fellow passenger mid-air. And from the moment I was entrusted to introduce him, I knew the audience wasn’t here to see a Minister. They were here to see a hero.
The venue shifted as I spoke. My role as event emcee wasn’t just to guide the flow — it was to hold space for a room full of seasoned finance leaders suddenly silenced by the weight of real courage. A voiceover echoed from the stage: “This Minister saved a life — 30,000 feet in the air!” I watched as heads turned, not out of duty, but awe. When I invited the audience to recognize Dr. Karad with a standing ovation, the response was instant — visceral. Every frame of that moment said what no script could.
It was the kind of occasion that rewrites a person's public identity. From a policy stalwart to a national symbol of presence under pressure, Dr. Karad had become the kind of story every anchor in Mumbai hopes to witness live. And it showed — in the reverence of the crowd, in the words of Mr. Babu Nair as he offered a token of appreciation, and in the closing line: “Karad sir, you are a hero for us. But who is the hero for Dr. Karad?” For me, this was presence redefined — not just a stage, but a national pulse. And anchoring such a moment is the rarest privilege for any corporate emcee.
I left that stage reminded of why these moments matter. Not just because the audience included every name in the NBFC space, but because every one of them walked away carrying the same quiet thought: who would I be in a moment like that? That’s the legacy of Dr. Karad — and of the best emcee in Mumbai, it’s about framing that legacy with truth, respect, and clarity. At Banking Frontiers’ flagship awards, I wasn’t just a witness. I was the lens through which the memory was shaped — and anchors for events live for nothing more.
Thank you to Mr. Babu Nair: Publisher & MD, Banking Frontiers and Mr. Pramod Jadhao for bringing together only & only the best of the finance world at the Distinguished NBFC Awards.
