Axria noted its association with Nori through shared community initiatives and described the award as recognition of long-term professional impact and public service.
Chief executive officer Chandra Mandalapu said, "I am extremely proud and honored to have Dr. Nori as my mentor and guide. This recognition reflects the depth of his contribution and the lives he has touched through his work and service."
The firm also pointed to its connection with Nori through temple development and community-focused projects. Nori is the founder of Sai Mandir USA, described as the first Sai Baba temple established in the United States.
This is Nori’s second Padma honor. He received the Padma Shri in 2015 for his work in radiation oncology and brachytherapy. His career includes serving as professor and executive vice chairman of the radiation oncology department at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College, along with leadership roles at the New York Hospital Medical Center of Queens.
Nori’s work includes introducing a computerized brachytherapy system in the United States in 1979, developing transperineal brachytherapy techniques for prostate cancer, and advancing high-dose-rate brachytherapy for multiple tumor types. He has also advised the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency on cancer treatment guidelines in developing countries.
Born in Mantada village in Andhra Pradesh’s Krishna district, Nori earned his medical degree from Kurnool Medical College and completed postgraduate studies at Osmania Medical College before continuing his career in the United States at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
