Congratulations

to my friend and colleague, Ashutosh Sharma for winning the Infosys prize. Ashutosh has done amazing work in the field of interfaces and is considered an authority in the field. He is also one of the nicest persons you can meet and he has always been helpful and encouraging whenever I have met him.

His work is corroborated by scientometrics. He is the scientist with the highest h-index among engineers (34) and has the second highest number of citations in engineering (> 4000) in India.

In my opinion, he is richly deserving of the award and I can not think of anyone who deserves it more than him. Congratulations to him.

Congratualtions to Prof. Sharma. I have audited his 600 level course on colloids. Apart from a Good Researcher, he is a wonderful teacher. He is extremely approacheable person inspite of his fully packed schedule.
Wish him much good luck in all his future endevors

I do not know who is the first but Prof. Giridhar is the third highest number of citations in engineering (around 3500).
