The event, despite being held virtually, saw participation from varied members including international business communities, spiritual leaders, political leaders, religious leaders, entrepreneurs, visionaries, media partners as well as international investors. The conference was also a platform for accumulating funds and capital for ongoing and future small and medium scale projects across Africa. Dr. Rajan Mahtani was invited to this event as an honorary speaker and discussed the significance of leadership in healthcare from his respective position.
The award ceremony was held virtually and Dr. Rajan Mahtani humbly accepted the award. He thanked Almighty God for his support during good as well as bad times. Also, he thanked his team for their constant support and for helping him achieve his professional objectives. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani was the only businessman from the entire Zambia who was selected for this prestigious Forbes award.
