The award was accepted on his behalf by Resham Chhabria, Executive Vice Chairperson of Allied Blenders and Distillers Ltd., who praised his visionary approach and the legacy of sustained business growth he established.

In an communication, the company said the recognition “reflects a journey that began with his belief,” emphasising Chairman’s conviction in building Indian brands with global ambition, scaling with discipline, and creating enduring business value over decades rather than moments.
