Portrait of Ovais

Ovais Kanoje

Ambassador
India

Ovais has served as a FARA Ambassador since 2023 and dedicates his time to raising awareness about Friedreich’s ataxia and contributing to the community by participating in research studies. He holds a bachelor’s degree in commerce and is currently pursuing the Chartered Accountancy course, while also working as a Financial Analyst intern at Amazon. In his free time, Ovais enjoys listening to pop music and watching travel vlogs, comedy movies, and series. Although he has not yet attended a FARA event in person, he has participated in many virtually. Ovais would tell someone newly diagnosed, “Don’t stop chasing your dreams. If you just take the first step, eventually things will fall into place—and you’ll be ready for the world when FA is cured.”
