Mr. Kuruganti is committed to “doing good,” and has spent multiple years helping the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure in the Seattle area. In a peculiar and fun twist, it’s valuable to note that back in the day, Ashok toured as a guest guitarist with Steppenwolf.

“Proper and professional eye care opens a world of possibilities to any child, anywhere,” says Mr. Kuruganti. “The world is becoming more technology-based every day and each child deserves the right to professional screenings, eye care, and eyeglasses as they discover how to change the world in their own way. I am happy and excited to offer my expertise and life experience to help these children realize their overall potential.”
