Past GHRSTA Award Recipients
The Girish and Himangi Rishi Student Travel Award (GHRSTA) is designed to support student travel to India, leveraging the strengths of existing Johns Hopkins University research programs.

He and his wife, Himangi Rishi, established the fellowships with GKII to connect their passion for business and technology with the challenges of urban hunger, sustainable diets, and health inequity.
