New York, NY, May 1, 2024 — Vee Healthtek Inc., formerly the healthcare professional services of Vee Technologies, is proud to announce that its CEO, Chocko Valliappa, has been selected to join the IAOP Leadership Hall of Fame. Valliappa will be formally inducted at the organization’s annual Outsourcing World Summit on May 21 in Chicago.
The IAOP Leadership Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who champion community-based economic development while delivering the best possible outcomes to their clients. The selection process, overseen by IAOP’s Advocacy and Outreach Committee, involves a thorough application and evaluation process. Winners join an elite group of visionaries who have shaped the industry, inspiring future generations to embrace best practices in outsourcing.
“I am truly honored to receive this distinction,” Valliappa shared. “Vee Healthtek’s mission has always been to provide clients with unparalleled professional services while positively benefiting under-resourced populations, so this award greatly resonates with me. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to IAOP for the invitation to be among such an esteemed group of leaders.”
As CEO of Vee Healthtek, a leading provider of healthcare business process outsourcing solutions, Valliappa is deeply dedicated to fostering education and community development, with a particular focus on advancing gender equality and enhancing professional skills for youth from rural Indian villages. His far-reaching corporate social responsibility initiatives, along with Vee Healthtek’s commitment to quality, have earned the company nine consecutive years on IAOP’s Global Outsourcing 100 Program.
Known for his innovative approach to driving positive change, Valliappa has spearheaded numerous programs that promote a more equitable world. Through Sona FM, a community radio station, Valliappa empowers Salem, India, with educational content, health information, music, and open dialogue. His organization, Anadhanam, is dedicated to addressing hunger by redistributing surplus food to those in need. Other initiatives headed by Valliappa in India include donating toys to children in orphanages, bringing food and clothing to senior citizens’ homes, planting trees and cleaning waterways, hosting free medical pop-ups, and granting scholarships to deserving students from remote villages. In the United States, Vee Healthtek also makes a tangible impact. The company supplies hygiene products to local homeless shelters, provides employees with annual paid volunteer time off, and matches donations to nonprofits.
Mark Voytek, head of the IAOP evaluation committee and member of the Leadership Hall of Fame, praised Valliappa for his ability to generate superior results for clients. “Chocko’s remarkable dedication and contributions to our industry are not only inspiring but also stand as a testament to his outstanding leadership and the positive impact he has made,” Voytek explained. “Through his spirit of community and collaboration, Chocko has significantly propelled our industry forward and made a lasting impact.”
“This is well deserved,” Patrick O’Malley, President of Vee Healthtek and longtime colleague of Valliappa, remarked. “Chocko demonstrates the vision to have world class operations, resources, and people that positions the company for sustained success that serves the global needs of healthcare now and into the future.”
Continuing to reflect on his induction, Valliappa added, “With this award, I am reminded of the immense potential that responsible outsourcing holds in driving sustainable development, fostering economic resilience, and nurturing a culture of social responsibility. It motivates me to keep pushing boundaries, creating with purpose, and advocating for initiatives that create enduring value for both our clients and communities in need.”
