The Global Indian of the Year is a prestigious annual nomination and selection of the most prominent persons of Indian origin from all over the world.
Honorees are selected entirely from individuals who have made an indelible mark for other leaders to follow and generations to admire. Mahendra Vora is the first Indian American in Ohio to receive such an honor.
Nominations for this highly-coveted award include people who have made the most impact and contributions within their specific category. The final list of ten leaders is assimilated through primary, market driven research by the AsiaOne editorial team and a prominent selection jury, with the review and selection process audited by PriceWaterhouse Coopers.
Winners of the AsiaOne Global Indian of the Year are typically newsmakers or extremely admirable leaders based on their highly innovative ideas, excellent business, political, or administrative acumen, or who make extraordinary contributions to humanity. They are leaders who have made the most impact in a year, and consequently have made their communities, society, or world a better place. This is the sixth edition of the Global Indian Award and past winners include Satya Nadella, Indra Nooyi and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen.
Mahendra was honored at the Annual Asia-Africa Business and Social Forum that took place virtually on Friday, August 27, 2021, at 9am EST. The event was broadcast live on Zee TV, CNBC, and ET Now, as well promoted throughout the month on their media social channels.
