Mr Atul Bhagwati receives ‘Friend of Vietnam’ award
“A leader is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than others see, and who sees before others see” – a quote that very aptly fits Mr Atul Bhagwati, Chairman Emeritus, A.T.E. Enterprises Private Limited, who was conferred the ‘Friend of Vietnam’ award, at an Indo – Vietnamese function held on 3 June 2011.
The award was in recognition of the pivotal role played by Mr Bhagwati over the years in the promotion of bilateral relations between India and Vietnam through the Indo-Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (IVCCI) and was presented jointly by Indian Merchants’ Chamber (IMC) and IVCCI. According to the Citation of the award, “Two decades ago, when nobody was talking about Vietnam, it was Mr Bhagwati who got together a few Mafatlal Group of Companies as founder members to promote Indo-Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (IVCCI). It was his foresightedness that he took an initiative to set-up this bilateral Chamber, which has since played a major role in enhancing trade and investment relations between India & Vietnam. Bilateral trade between India and Vietnam during this period has increased several fold from just $ 100 million to $ 2.8 billion.”
The award was presented to Mr Atul Bhagwati at the hands of Mr Nguyen Thanh Tan, H. E. Vietnamese Ambassador to India.
