Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani was recently conferred with a prestigious award by Forbes. Every year, Forbes in partnership with FIN (Foreign Investment Network) conducts the annual Forbes-FIN Philanthropy and Leadership roundtable conference. Usually, this conference is held at New York during United Nations convention. However, this year’s roundtable conference was held online due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. As such, experts indicated that this year’s conference and gathering of leaders is going to be all the more important considering the significant need for leaders and businesses to extend support to government as well as economy in a difficulty scenario like this.
One of the major highlights of the roundtable conference was the ‘Best of Africa’ award ceremony by Forbes. It is a prestigious award by Forbes which recognises and celebrates businessmen and leaders from different spheres of life for their significant contributions towards empowerment of their nations as well as Africa as a whole. The event is graced by significant members from international and national business communities, entrepreneurs, policy makers, opinion leaders, religious leaders, politicians, media partners as well as international investors. The award holds a special place due to its validity and authenticity. The awardees are selected through a rigorous process which includes months of verification and interviews, background checks and authentication from Forbes as well as FIN.
Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani was not only a honorary speaker during the event, but was also bestowed with the prestigious Forbes ‘Best of Africa’ Award. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani received the prestigious ‘Outstanding Entrepreneur of the Year’ award 2021, which is given to the businessman with top entrepreneurial, leadership and philanthropic contributions across the entire African continent.
