Mr. CB Patel, Publisher/Editor, ABPL Group said: “The mission of the Asian Achievers Awards is twofold – to both recognise and reward genuine high achievers in the Asian community. It’s humbling how the community holds our Awards in such high esteem, and this is reflected in the overwhelming number and quality of nominations we once again received this year. I certainly don’t envy the daunting task our esteemed judges have in short-listing the nominees and selecting winners.”

This year, the Chair of Judges is Nishma Robb, Head of Marketing, Google UK & Ireland. She said, “The Asian Achievers Awards are widely respected across the business, arts, and social communities, because of the robust and very fair judging process, and the calibre of the judging panel. I was very impressed with the quality of the nominations for the awards.  It is an incredible accomplishment to be recognised as a finalist, and those shortlisted this year really are raising the bar of achievement again.”

The Asian Achievers Awards celebrates the outstanding work of South Asian individuals from across a spectrum of backgrounds and professions. This year’s theme is Professional Of the Year, for the outstanding achievement in Professions.
