Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 19: On the timeless soil of Kashi, where spirituality meets civilization, a new chapter of history was inscribed. At the prestigious Pride of Bharat Awards 2025 held at Taj Ganges, Varanasi, Shri Rajat Pathak was conferred with the honorary title Icon of Uttar Pradesh 2025 (Visionary Entrepreneur Category).
What makes this honour remarkable is its rare distinction: out of 1,770 nominations nationwide, only 7 individuals were chosen by an eminent jury of social reformers, Padma awardees, and globally renowned luminaries. Shri Rajat Pathak’s selection among them symbolizes not only individual achievement but the recognition of values rooted in Kashi’s spirit.
The Pride of Bharat Awards carry an international footprint—having already been staged in the USA, UK, Dubai, Singapore, Canada, and Australia. Their arrival in Kashi underscores a powerful narrative: when society, synergy, and sanskar (values) align, the message transcends borders and echoes across the world.
On receiving the honour, Shri Pathak remarked: “This recognition is not mine alone. It is the collective celebration of every well-wisher, associate, and supporter who has walked this journey with me. The power of society, the spirit of collaboration, and the depth of values are my true inspirations. Business, to me, is not merely profit—it is the foundation of employment and development. Culture is not just heritage—it is the eternal spark that guides future generations.”
