Forbes business is one of the highly anticipated and most regarded business events across Zambia. The Forbes business recently conferred Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani with one of the most famous business awards in Zambia. It was the Forbes ‘Best of Africa’ awards. Dr. Mahtani is a noted businessman and philanthropist in Zambia. For almost four decades, Dr. Rajan Mahtani is working towards the welfare as well as economic and social development of the Zambian nation. Dr. Rajan Mahtani was recognised by Forbes after his significant contributions towards redefining the banking industry of Zambia. The award ceremony is a part of the Forbes-FIN philanthropy and leadership business conference, held annually at the New York location. However, this year’s Forbes-FIN (Foreign Investment Limited) was held online as a result of the current Covid-19 pandemic. As such, participants, members and others participated in the event via online medium from their respective locations. The business conference along with the award ceremony was broadcasted globally via the YouTube medium.
The award ceremony was highly anticipated among the analysts and businesses. Apart from being invited as a honorary speaker at the Forbes-FIN philanthropy and leadership event, Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani was also conferred with Forbes ‘Outstanding Entrepreneur of the Year’ awards’ 2021 for his significant contributions. It should be noted here that Dr. Mahtani was the only businessman from Zambia who received this prestigious award. It was an international event and was graced by significant members and participants, including members from international business communities, entrepreneurs, politicians, policy makers, media partners, opinion leaders, international investors as well as religious leaders. Another reason for the high anticipation and regards for the Forbes award ceremony is the rigorous process for selecting the awardees. This rigorous process includes months of background checks, verification processes as well as interview sessions with the potential recipients regarding their views on philanthropy. Dr. Rajan Mahtani accepted the award gracefully and thanked almighty god and his team for the significant contributions.
