Naresh Vashisht, an Indian-American and founder of Omimex Group, donated $10 million to Texas A&M's College of Medicine, marking its largest-ever endowed gift. The college has been renamed the Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine.

Vashisht's donation will fund full-tuition scholarships, a dean's fund for strategic needs, and rural healthcare initiatives, aimed at inspiring students from underserved areas to serve their communities.

Arriving in the U.S. in 1971 for a master's in petroleum engineering at Texas A&M, Vashisht’s journey from Fagwada, Punjab, to success in the oil and gas sector reflects the dedication he advocates for immigrants.

He encourages newcomers to commit to hard work, underscoring the challenges and resilience of the Indian immigrant community.
