Mr. Rajat Raj Shukal, Global Head and Principal Partner, AsiaOne Media Group started the event with his keynote speech, “Today marks a decade since we started this journey with the AsiaOne Summit in Dubai back in 2014. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you for your unwavering support. It’s an honour to have Shri Anurag Singh Thakur with us today—he’s truly a youth icon and a remarkable figure in Indian politics. We also welcome Dr. Christina Rahm and Mr. Clayton Thomas from DRC Ventures and The Root Brands. At AsiaOne, we believe in the power of dreams and the courage to bring them to life, which unites all of us, regardless of our backgrounds. Personally, it’s a nostalgic moment, as I first set foot in the UAE, and many of you have been my mentors since then. I’m grateful to the Emirates for their vision and to everyone who has been part of this journey. Thank you for making this event a success year after year.”
Shri Anurag Singh Thakur, Honourable Member of Parliament, Government of India, also addressed the gentry with his keynote speech, “As a proud citizen of India, I feel honoured to represent my great nation at the 24th edition of the Asian Business and Social Forum. This prestigious event brings together industrious leaders and entrepreneurs from around the world to engage in meaningful dialogue. I would like to applaud AsiaOne for organising such an impactful summit. As a regular reader of AsiaOne Magazine, it remains my go-to source for credible news and insights about Asia’s progress and entrepreneurship.
India’s economic growth and expanding diplomatic influence have garnered respect globally. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, India has undergone a significant transformation over the past decade, now recognised as a key player in global affairs. India has championed causes such as climate change, terrorism, and global peace. Through initiatives like the International Solar Alliance, we continue to lead on renewable energy. India has made remarkable strides domestically, including becoming the world’s largest digital payment maker and the second-largest mobile phone manufacturer. Our policies have lifted millions out of poverty, connected villages with digital infrastructure, and enhanced education and healthcare services. The world is taking notice of India’s success, and I invite you all to explore the vast opportunities in India. The India-UAE partnership remains strong, built on peace, progress, and prosperity. Together, we can achieve even greater success.”
