There was a steady stream of visitors to the stall set up by TANKER Foundation at the Duchess Utsav shopping festival at The Savera Hotel, Chennai, on Monday, September 1, and Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
The utsav draws the cream of Chennai society for a buying spree and also lends itself to do some charity work on the side.
The stall was manned in turns by TANKER Foundation Head Admin, Mrs. Vasanthi Ravichander, Officer, HR & Admin, Mrs. Kirubankani Kameswaran, Consultant, Mrs. Nirmala Sivakumar, and staff, Ms. Ashwini.
Mrs. Suhasini Maniratnam, TANKER Foundation donor and well-wisher, is a regular and visited the stall. Actress Mucherla Aruna also was the chief guest on the day.
Many of the visitors to the Utsav stopped by to buy the book ‘My Patients My God’, written by TANKER Foundation Founder Trustee, Dr. Georgi Abraham.
They also picked up Mandala art by Trustee, Mrs. Lakshmi Rao.
The donors were honoured with the TANKER memento, which is a personalised, special, ceramic mug, sporting the images of the trustees of TANKER Foundation, the Goodwill Ambassador and some patient-beneficiaries.
