Dr. Rajan Mahtani is a celebrated and respected businessman from Zambia. Despite being one of the most successful businessmen across the entire nation, he has always been humble and down-to-earth. This can be seen in the complete lack of promotions of his philanthropic and charitable contributions across Zambia. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why it took several years before an international magazine was able to recognize the contributions made by the Zambian businessman. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani was conferred with the Forbes ‘Best of Africa’ awards for redefining the banking sector of Zambia.
Forbes conducts a ‘Best of Africa’ award ceremony to recognize the leading lights in the field of business and philanthropy. The awards are presented after significant consideration and background research on the participants. Both FIN (Foreign Investment Limited) and Forbes conduct verification processes and background checks against the respective participants. After this, interviews and discussions take place to understand the perception and views of the awardees regarding philanthropy to achieve long-term empowerment across the African nation.
The Forbes ‘Best of Africa’ award ceremony was part of the Forbes-FIN philanthropy and leadership roundtable conference. Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani was invited to this event as an honorary speaker. He highlighted the significance of leadership in the healthcare sector considering the ongoing pandemic and the pressure it has put on healthcare as well as administrative services. Dr. Rajan Mahtani, apart from getting an invitation as an honorary speaker, was also selected for one of the prestigious Forbes ‘Best of Africa’ awards. Forbes recognized the significant contributions made by Dr. Mahtani over the years and conferred him with the Forbes ‘Outstanding Entrepreneur of the Year’ award 2021. Dr. Mahtani was especially recognized for redefining the banking sector of Zambia. Dr. Mahtani humbly accepted the award, thanking Almighty God for supporting him during good times as well as bad times. He also thanked his team for their persistent support and motivation that helped him achieve success in his business.
