AsiaOne Magazine April-May 2018 Issue

From the Editor’s Desk
The Growing Giant
onsistent progress of any
organization gives an idea of how
c things would turn up in the long
run. If one is consistent, outcomes
are automatically phenomenal!
Progressing further, AsiaOne Magazine
and UWG Media Consulting PL have
created a Platform of Excellence (PoE)
through its powerful Asian Business &
Social Forum (ABSF), which is a highly
ambitious global initiative to bring the
entire Asia at a common platform to
facilitate intense discussions on business,
social and intellectual issues, and to
create a dynamic business environment
in the Asian continent, which is beneficial
for all. Extending our arms from a triadic
base of Dubai, India and Singapore, our
vision is to gradually develop a plinth that
supports international (inter-continental
and global) trade allowing all participating
companies, brands and individuals to
generate highly effective corridors of
network where continuous and seamless
opportunities are devised & developed,
and all points of contention are mutually
and amiably settled through mutual
constructive dialogue, clearly leading
to destinations of fresh investments and
enormous growth.
At our recent Indo-Singapore Business
& Social Forum 2018, several august &
inspiring leaders and brands of Asia met
at Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore
on 29th January 2018 to acknowledge
each other’s success and cheer on for more
promising work in the future; as usual
PricewaterhouseCoopers PL appraised
each winner.
This year’s Global Asians of the Year on
our Cover Page comprise Mukesh Ambani,
Jack Ma, Li Ka-shing, Harsh Goenka,
Niranjan Hiranandani, Arun Agarwal,
Arun Madhok, Suneet Goenka, Nurallah
K Veljee, Manjula Pooja Shroff, Prof. J
Kartheekeyan and Dr P Shyama Raju.
It’s A Beautiful World out there; as
confirmed by the Ambassador of Ukraine
– His Excellency Dymtro Senik, and the
Ambassador of Qatar – His Excellency
Abdulla Ibrahim Abdulrahman S. Al-
Hamar in our Cynosure, and Asia’s
Greatest Brands have once again bedazzled
our Special Feature, which collects each
brand’s awesome success story.
Narendra Modi’s recent visit to the
UAE enticed us, and exploring its different
angles we found how the two countries
are Creating Strategic Depth in their
Towering Relations.
Several bigwigs have contributed
immensely in their own way in the growth
of Dubai as one of the biggest hub of
business. We have been gender-neutral
in our approach and have collected some
influential names in The Bedazzling
Spectacle of Power, Influence & Might.
Highlighting the holy work of Saifee
Burhani Upliftment Project Creating
Homes of Rest & Peace Under Allah’s
Guidance, we explored the different
dimensions of how Bhendi Bazaar
redevelopment is taking place.
Last, but not the least, we have explored
Haryana containing Resonating Melodies
of Tradition, Heritage & Culture!
A Readers’ Page is being introduced in
our subsequent issues. We want to keep
it an open arena, where we expect our
readers to pour their hearts out on any
topic of regional, national, international
or personal importance (social, economic,
political or emotional). You may send your
articles to me for the Reader’s Page and
then some constructive feedback on our
endeavours and the stories. I’m available
at anam@asiaone.co.in for all that you
feel is valuable and want to share.
