In his welcome address, Mr. Rajat Raj Shukal, Global Head & Principal Partner, AsiaOne Magazine & UWG Media said, "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, as a kid, in 1983, when many of you, my mentors, had come here as entrepreneurs. Mr. Mohan Jashanmal, Dr. Kandhari, Mr. Avi Bhojani, Mr. Ashok Kotecha, Mr. Shyam Bhatia, Mr. Nilesh Bhatanagar, Mr. Paras Shadadpuri, and others; I am so proud to have touched you at that beginning stage of my career, where I've had the honour and your inputs, your advice, to actually take AsiaOne Magazine to this level. 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, Hon'ble Member of Parliament and Former Cabinet Minister, Government of India, graced the 24th Asian Business & Social Forum as the Chief Guest. He asserted, "I am pleased to state that industrious leaders, entrepreneurs from various sectors of industry, have gathered from all across the globe for a dialog and discussion at this prestigious event. AsiaOne deserves a great applause and appreciation for organizing this event. Kindly put your hands together for them. Let me also tell you that I'm a regular reader of AsiaOne magazine, and whenever I wish to read about what's happening in Asia, credible news, and content on most of the Asian countries and the entrepreneurs, you are my preferred one. India's economic growth and expanding diplomatic influence are becoming the most engaging stories in the international media. Today, Indian flag, Indian rupee, and Indian passport are respected and trusted. And the credit of this goes to 180 degree shift, which Prime Minister Modi has brought in the last 10 years through our foreign policy. If you ask me to explain the emergence of India on the international arena and effectiveness of our foreign policy in the last one decade; Prime Minister Modi continues to be the most popular and renowned world leader with 69% approval rating in the last five years continuously. Under his leadership, 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."

Keynote Speeches

The following leaders delivered keynote speeches at the 24th Asian Business and Social Forum:

Mr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, Managing Director, BnW Developments and Actor, The Indian Film Industry
"I think a brand represents a thought process, a belief system. A brand is not just a mere marketing exercise. A brand is something which projects the ethos of the brand creators and has some level of resonance with their customers, their clients, their fraternity, their community that they build. If you can identify yourself as one of those brands, then you truly have longevity. Otherwise, you're only alive till your marketing cycle is alive. As far as a great leader is concerned, I think great leaders understand what must be done and find the most efficient ways to do it. But I truly believe that from being an efficient leader to being a great leader, the difference lies in how many people can you take along when you do it. Are you creating money or are you creating wealth? If you're creating wealth, you're a great leader."

Dr. J.C. Chaudhry, a world renowned Educationist and Founder & Chairman, Chaudhry Nummero
"I firmly believe that life, obtained after millions of generations, should never be wasted. Most people use only a small fraction of their true potential, often unaware of the vast possibilities within them. I began my business with just $200, and through the guidance of numerology, I grew it into a billion-dollar enterprise over 30 years. Numerology has taught me invaluable lessons, and even after 40 years of study, I still consider myself a student, constantly learning and experimenting. Every individual should strive to unlock their full capabilities and avoid unnecessary pitfalls."
AsiaOne Magazine also launched the 1st edition of the Dr. JC Chaudhry Excellence Award at the business summit. The distinguished accolade honours the global leaders for their remarkable achievements in business, and also their profound contributions to societal well-being. Named after Dr. JC Chaudhry, a visionary renowned for his unwavering dedication to excellence and community impact, the award seeks to recognise those who exemplify the harmonious blend of commercial success with social responsibility.

Dr. Anand Jacob Varghese, Chairman, Hindustan Group of Institutions
"I'm super delighted to be a part of this illustrious gathering as we unveiled my biography earlier. The presence of esteemed guests from the diplomatic core, Honorable MP and former Minister, global entrepreneurs and others, is a testament to the importance this occasion, and I'm deeply grateful for your support. As we embark on this journey together through the pages of my life, I'm reminded of a truth that has guided me throughout my years. Every significant achievement in the world came when someone chose perseverance over surrender, pressing forward regardless of obstacles. This sentiment captured in my biography encapsulates the spirit that has driven me forward, even in the face of seemingly unsurmountable challenges."

Dr. Christina Rahm, CEO of DRC Ventures and Chief Science Formulator, The ROOT Brands
"I've spoken here numerous times in conventions, usually educational talks in the UAE and in India. I really feel connected to these countries. I talk about this a lot. I have, genetically, in my DNA, my great grandfather was from the Middle East. I'm very connected, I think because of that, but also because I understand the advancements here. I do have a lot of patents in the pharmaceutical, biotech, environmental, and nutraceutical space, but that really doesn't do anything. Without businessmen and leaders of influence, I would never have achieved anything. You all in this room have been able to make a difference. Without the voice of media and PR like AsiaOne, we won't succeed. I hope we all use this event to connect and make this world a better place."

Mr. Clayton Thomas, Co-Founder of The ROOT Brands
"Our focus is in community. I find it really interesting that in my career, in growing up as a kid and studying different cultures, we were never taught that Asia is much larger than a specific region, and how communities are completely connected. And having a wife who's a nano-biotechnologist, and has really started to tie together the connectivity of humanity and society, I feel we are all each one in perfect piece to a perfect puzzle. And if we don't work individually to become our best selves, then this entire puzzle of humanity, this global environment, this ecosystem that we exist in, is not going to be complete, nor will it be correct. And if we all work together, we'll have a lot more fun, we'll be of greater service. And I appreciate the opportunity to be here with everyone and make new friends."

Dr. Aashish Chaudhry, Managing Director, Aakash Healthcare
"I come from healthcare background, and very rightly, the context was set by our Honorable Minister and member of Parliament, that how India is shining on all fronts and why healthcare I've become so important when it comes to delivering care, not only for our Indian patients, but also for the world as such. I've been practicing as an orthopedic surgeon for the last 18 years, and for the last seven years, we have been delivering care through Aakash Healthcare to a lot of patients who are from Indian origin and also from more than 40 odd countries for which the patients travel from across the globe to India to take treatments. Our PM's dream of a #ViksitBharat, is one very important aspect which can be turning tables for the healthcare delivery across the globe. We have seen huge amount of potential in terms of healthcare being delivered across the globe. But, in India, good quality care is delivered by an able team of healthcare professionals, but at a fraction of the cost. I leave the stage here just with this focus in mind that, can India Can India be the hospital for the world? That's the vision for 2047."

Mr. Puneet Gaur, Chief Operating Officer, Next Quarter
Dwelling upon the reason for happiness, he said, "I have been roaming around the world for the last three years telling people that SaaS makes us happy. Not SaaS, which means mother-in-law in Hindi, not SaaS, software as a service, but Society as a Strategic Stakeholder. This idea is just isn't a theory. It is supported by the latest Global Happiness Report of 2024, which states that during COVID, there was a surge in number of people helping others in need. This surge had a direct positive impact on the Global Happiness Index. The countries which consistently rank higher in happiness index have two key factors in common, social cohesion and generosity. Together, we have the power of creating a happier and a more compassionate world just by one act of kindness at a time. Let's try to do that."

Mr. Derwin Hunt, Founder & CEO, Hunt Innovations LLC
"I want to say that dreams are a simple series of unanswered questions. If we find a solution to those questions, and all dreams become a reality. We all have these moments of eureka. I was inspired by a simple, fundamental, elementary thought process. My innovation and my thought process led me to develop something that would not only give you safety, but also comfort. I have created a solution that actually addresses slips and falls directly. And so now with the soft side, it gives you the peace of mind to know that should you have a careless fall, the injury is not going to happen or won't occur. And you don't have to incur the aftermath of medical bills and having other people come into the home to see you in inappropriate ways. So the soft side is available at Soft Side by Hunt, and it's through Hunt Innovations."

Mr. Jagmohan Singh, Founder, JSA
Talking about the importance of cash flow, he emphasized, "The cash flow is required for the business as well as the life. My invitation to each one of you is please take out time from your life and learn the nitty-gritty of cash flow. There may be a profit in the business. Yes, there can be profit, but no cash flow. To run a profitable and cash-rich business, we need right tools, strategy, and the right approaches. Last but not the least, cash flow is life."
