The 19 th Asian Business and Social Forum, based on the theme of "Celebrating 75 Years of Indo-Thai Diplomatic
Relations" was successfully held on 21st February 2023 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand. The Summit highlighted the Glorious Journey of Development & Progress commemorating 75 Years of Indo-Thai trade, tourism and cultural ties. Its agenda was to further new avenues of growth through networking and
collaboration among the leaders of Asian, Gulf and African countries. It acknowledged the fact that the role of
collaboration has acquired all the more significance during the pandemic. Thus, the summit dwelled upon
bringing together outstanding business leaders of Asia, Gulf and Africa under a single roof so as to
further umpteen possibilities of coming together and charting new trajectories of mutual growth and success.

, opened the summit with his welcome address. He mentioned that whenever we would meet different people, from different countries they would talk about Indians as great knowledge workers. So they would say Indians are great doctors, lawyers, academicians, but no one was saying that Indians are great business leaders. And that’s when I thought of starting AsiaOne magazine and recognize some of the Asian, Indian and African business leaders and talk about their inspiring stories and how they have created success in so many multiple industries.”
