This recognition was accorded to only 192 Fellows this year; and, this is the second year since the inception of this award. Mukund’s response on becoming a Fellow: “I am very humbled and honored. It makes chemistry, particularly industrial and pharmaceutical chemistry (discovery and process) that much more worth doing”.
