A high-octane function to release I’m Possible, a book by Dr. Hari Prasad, president of the Apollo Group of Hospitals, detailing the many challenges he faced in life and how he overcame them, saw a galaxy of politicians, top police personnel and sportspersons acknowledging the way the doctor had inspired them.
The book celebrates the life journey of cricketer-turned-doctor Hari Prasad, and chronicles his achievements and milestones, as well as the hurdles on his path and how he overcame them — including the biggest challenge, cancer. Speaking on the occasion, Dr Hari Prasad said, “I’m Possible gives you a comprehensive insight into my life — be it giving up cricket, quitting smoking, fighting leukaemia, managing diabetes or combatting obesity to come down from 115 kg to less than 65 kg.”
