Srigangaveera, 25 year old IT professional was lucky to be the 500th donor for DATRI. She registered during a drive held at her office. She was happy on hearing that she was found to be a lifesaving match for someone in dire need. Post donation, a very excited Srigangaveera said, "I am proud to be a Blood Stem Cell donor and would like to thank DATRI for giving me an opportunity to save a life. I am glad to be the lucky 500th donor to join the pool of lifesavers. Donation is a very simple process and I would like to appeal to everyone to register as a volunteer Blood Stem Cell Donor."

Speaking at the proud moment, Co-founder and CEO of DATRI, Raghu Rajagopal, said, "500 donations is indeed an important milestone for us. We have come a long way from the time when we were struggling to counsel our first donor being just a very small team to becoming a team of 80 dedicated employees and over 200 volunteers who work with dedication to ensure every match found in our registry goes ahead with the donation to save a life."
Dr Nezih Cereb, Co-founder and Chairperson of DATRI added, "Unrelated Blood Stem Cell Donation and registry being a new phenomenon to the Indian population, DATRI took tremendous efforts in creating awareness on the same. Since its inception in 2009, DATRI has now grown to a registry of nearly 4 lakh registered voluntary blood stem cell donors. As we complete the 500th donation, I thank all our generous donors, treating physicians, nurses and the support staff, patients who needed a transplant, volunteers and everyone in the community that supported DATRI in its mission of saving lives. We appeal to everyone in the age group of 18 to 50 to come forward and take the first step to register as Blood Stem Cell Donors and support the cause."
