Business Awards reinforce Indian resilience

I am happy that Indian Newslink as a balanced newspaper is growing from strength to strength and the Indian Newslink Indian Business Awards is getting bigger and better every year.

John Key, Prime Minister of New Zealand

The Indian Newslink Indian Business Awards reflect the significant contributions that the Indian business community makes to New Zealand. I am always happy to be a part of this hugely successful Awards ceremony.

Phil Goff, Leader of the Opposition, New Zealand

The turnout and glamour of the event shows that the Kiwi Indian business community is coming of age. Labour looks forward to partnering with the community to reach new heights of success and leadership in our fast changing world.

David Cunliffe, Member of Parliament (Labour)

Please accept my sincere congratulations on the successful occasion of the BNZ Partners Indian Newslink Indian Business Awards 2011. The function was exceptionally well organised. The entire evening was faultless.

My colleagues requested me to convey their appreciation for a superb evening’s entertainment. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was encouraging to recognise the accompaniments of the many Indian people in the community who received awards for their outstanding achievements.

I was heartened to see themselves of the wider community comprising of all walks of life and to be able to mix and mingle with so many interesting and diverse people.

Prime Minister Rt Hon John Key (who was Guest of Honour) discussed with me the success of the event. Good luck for next year and Happy Twelfth Anniversary to Indian Newslink.

Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi, Member of Parliament (National)

Well done, Indian Newslink; the Awards Programme has truly grown to be one of the major business events of the year in New Zealand.

Dr Rajen Prasad, Member of Parliament (Labour)

The Award Night was very well attended. The occasion was wonderful. Subhag and I were most impressed with the dance performances of Ratna Venkat. All the hard work done was appreciated by people.

What an absolutely fabulous evening it was! I was privileged to be a part of this special event. I look forward to attending IBA 2012.

I was delighted to see so many of my friends present, including those in Labour, National and Act Parties.

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and have to say that was some of the best Indian food I have tasted in a long while!

Carol White, Sales & Marketing Manager, Stratos Television Limited, Triangle Television Limited, Auckland

I enjoyed being part of the marvellous celebration dinner for more than 700. I found the attendees very interesting – a very different and more eclectic crowd than any other business function I have attended, probably because it does get the Indian business community out and mixing with the standard business crowd. You have to admire the Indian business community’s ability to network.

Thanks again; Helen and I enjoyed a wonderful evening.
