It is with deep regret that TANKER Foundation records the passing of Padma Bhushan Sri Vaghul on Saturday, May 18, 2024, in Chennai, at age 88. Mr. Vaghul has been the Patron of TANKER Foundation for 20 years.
At this distressing time when we have lost our Patron, we recall that it was the Rs. 2 million contribution of ICICI Bank, when he was the chairman of ICICI, that enabled TANKER Foundation launch its first dialysis unit at Kilpauk.
A legendary banker, who set benchmarks in the financial sector, Mr. Vaghul also staunchly believed in corporate philanthropy and giving back to society. He was not just a donor and Patron to TANKER, but a beacon of hope and inspiration to the TANKER family.
The TANKER Foundation family condoles the passing of Mr. Vaghul and prays for strength for his family to bear this great loss.
