March 2, 2025 - ISKCON witnessed something powerful.
Conversations that mattered. Commitments that promised change. MedEqual took a stand to advance South Asian Representation in Clinical Trials, and the room echoed with purpose.

80+ attendees leaned in, listened, and left with awareness. 50+ iPromise commitments — not just words, but a promise
