IIT Madras launched the ‘Prof. Subra Suresh Distinguished Lecture Series’ during January 2020 in honour of one of its most illustrious alumni Prof. Subra Suresh, a Distinguished Alumnus Awardee (1997). It brings leading international scholars, engineers, and scientists to IIT Madras on a periodic basis, up to twice every year, to discuss key advances in scientific discoveries and technological innovation. This lecture series was made possible by a generous gift from another illustrious alumnus of IIT Madras, Mr. Senapathy ‘Kris’ Gopalakrishnan, Chairman of Axilor Ventures, Bengaluru, and co-founder of Infosys.
