After several tests, doctors diagnosed her with a rare heart defect, Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) to the Right Atrium, along with heart failure and severe pulmonary hypertension.

My experience of witnessing the true spirit of the little hearts, by Mr.Vinu Cheriyan, CFO and Director (Operations), Sennheiser, India

It is that time of the year where we celebrate with our friends and family by thanking the year that went by and welcome the beautiful New Year. I generally spend this time planning the next year ahead for my organisation, mapping the next year for my family and myself. However, this time it was different, this year, we at Sennheiser wanted to give back to the society and spread the love we got from our consumers.

As I woke up to check my daily schedule and meetings that were lined up for the day, I looked ahead for a special meeting. The meeting was special since I was to have an interaction with little children, an interaction that indeed was the most fulfilling one. I met Vaishnavi, Love and Vinni three kids at Max Hospital, Saket. All these three children come from under-privileged backgrounds, who have challenging (life-threatening) stories to share and yet showcase exemplary strength.

These little souls were children who were being supported by Genesis Foundation. And even though struggling with heart disorders at such a young age, they had radiant smiles which was both warm and welcoming. Each child I met had a hole in the heart, but that hole couldn’t dampen their spirit- the spirit to fight for life. It was indeed the best closure to the year since we were to embark on a journey with Genesis Foundation to save these little hearts and give them a chance to lead a healthy and happy life.
