Krishna Kumar KK

A well determined and focused IT professional, born as the second son to Mr. Krishna Namboothiri and Mrs. Indira. K. Namboothiri, in Vakathanam, Kottayam district. He is famously known as KK among his friends and family, is a Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) patient. His favorite subject was mathematics in school, for graduation KK took up chemistry as his major with a hope to learn more about Muscular Dystrophy and to do research on subjects like the human genome, molecular biology, and on such subjects. Unfortunately, after graduation his path changed, and after many jobs in between, he did a diploma in Computer Science which led him to work in the IT field and is currently working in an MNC as Senior Project Manager. He started to open up with people about his ailment and started a Facebook page in 2015, where he wrote about Muscular Dystrophy awareness and shared the ordeals he has gone through in his life because of the progressive disease. As the co-founder and chairman of MIND, KK's wish for supporting people with muscular dystrophy and atrophy has come true. He shares his knowledge and findings about the ongoing research and its progress regarding the disease with everyone and thus helping the families and patients who are unaware of this progressive disorder. Apart from working in the IT sector and managing MIND projects, KK loves Travelling and exploring. One of his dreams is to drive through the Golden Quadrilateral highway network that connects most of the industrial, agricultural, cultural centers of India. He also wishes to begin a business involving people in the MIND group so along with him they also have a safe and secure future.
