New Delhi [India], January 8: Alfred Arambhan, a distinguished serial entrepreneur and social impact leader, was honored with the United Nations Karmaveer Chakra (Silver) Award at the 12th Rex Conclave and Award ceremony held at the Shiv Nadar School in Faridabad on November 27, 2023. Instituted in 2009 by the Indian Confederation of NGOs (iCongo) in collaboration with the United Nations, the Karmaveer Chakra is an international medallion recognizing proactive voluntary action for positive change.
The award was bestowed upon Arambhan in acknowledgment of his exceptional contributions to socio-economic upliftment and the creation of micro-entrepreneurs across various industries, spanning agriculture, healthcare, education, hospitality, and logistics and supply chain over four decades. Recognized previously by the UN Global Compact and invited to the Global Sustainability program by Secretary General Kofi Annan, Arambhan's tireless efforts underscore his commitment to uplifting the less fortunate through education and opportunities.
A pioneer in bi-lateral trade between India, Bangladesh, Netherlands, and Israel, Arambhan gained recognition under the "Bridge to Innovation" program in 2018, initiated by PM Narendra Modi and PM (Israel) Benjamin Netanyahu. This collaboration focused on cutting-edge technologies in agriculture, healthcare, and water technology sectors.
Arambhan's commitment to gender equality, diversity, and inclusion earned recognition at the UN Women's Empowerment Principles Summit in New York in 2013. He holds various positions supporting economic and social upliftment, including serving as the Advisor of the Indian Documentary Foundation and actively supporting the Good Pitch Film Festival.
Firmly believing in the power of entrepreneurship and innovation for sustainable wealth creation, Arambhan continues to empower and impact those around him. He shares his entrepreneurial journey and experiences as a mentor and speaker at premier institutes such as IIM (Lucknow), IIM (Bangalore), and ISB (Hyderabad).
