NOTE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR, INDIAN EXPRESSIONS

Greetings from Indian Expressions,

Welcome to the ABLF Awards web portal. The inaugural edition of the ABLF Awards rolled out in a grand ceremony on October 3, in New Delhi, bringing to a close the opening phase of the event. Presented by the news-making and dynamic Adani Group, the leader in private Indian infrastructure and DLF Limited, India's largest urban development company, the ABLF Awards are dedicated to the powerful leaders of modern Asia whose brave contributions have redefined both the business culture and economic future of the region.

Some very special people attended and supported the event and its mandate: Ministers Kamal Nath and Kapil Sibal with their powerful addresses; Minister Vayalar Ravi with his presence at the event to give away the Awards, the ABLF Awards Jury, the event presenters and a wonderful profile of industry & media giants. The stars of course were the ABLF winners felicitated at The Big Night for their contribution to the Asian business-scape.

The new dynamic created by the shift of the economic power centre from the West to the East offers exciting and immense opportunities for a collectively beneficial Asian synergy that has the potential to make this a truly Asian century.

The Asian Business Leadership Forum and the Awards showcases the sunshine sectors of Industry, Infrastructure & Energy and are geared towards addressing these evolving and historic developments through a twin process of celebration and introspection. We welcome you to register with the ABLF portal www.ablfawards.com for updates, interesting features, information and exciting networking opportunities with our Presenters, Associates, Winners & Showcases.
