The awards that odd value to businesses

Past recipients of Bangladesh Business Awards reflect on their great moments

Star Business Report
It was a great moment of joy for architect Tanya Tazeen Karim, who was one of the recipients of the Ban-
gladesh Business Awards last year.
Tanya, who was crowned as the Outstanding Woman in Business, was pleasantly surprised.
“This award has recognised us as a proper business establishment as well as a profession,” Tanya said as she reflected on the moments of glory.
The awards are now probably the best recognition of the country's business community and its contribution to the economy, and act as a platform to appreciate entrepreneurs and their excellence in different sectors, she said.
The co-partner of Tanya Karim NR Khan & Associates said the annual award jointly initiated by The Daily Star and DHL Express has added value to her company's achievements.
“Asmost of our esteemed clients are business organisations, it has instilled a greater respect and awareness towardsourprofessionalservices," shesaid.
Tanya said she is honoured and humbled by the award. “I am especially so because my business of architecture and design is service-oriented. And usually success is evaluated by and limited to our professional peers.” The entrepreneur said the previous recipients of the award have set a benchmark for excellence. "And I feel it inspires us all to not only reach greater heights but also have the longing to be a role model for the younger generation of women entrepreneurs.” Tanya also said the evaluation process is up to the mark.
"Because the jury is made up of recognised and respected members of the society as well as the business community who deliberate not only on the basis of financial achievements but also professional excellence, before they finally decide."
Tanya is now designing several commercial and residential projects, as well as interior designs for offices and apartments and one ortwo landscape projects.
Alihussain Akberali, chairman of BSRM Group, said: “I feel the award is an enormous recognition of the private sector even though such awards should be given by the government as it earns a huge amount of revenue from genuine businessmen.”
BSRM Group, which has been in operation for the last six decades, won the Enterprise of the Year Award last year for its historic presence in the steel industry.
Ever since this award has been given to the company, the BSRM family is looked upon with esteem by the fellow countrymen, Akberali said.
"This award has also made others try and achieve what we have done in our lives."
“The award made us more vigilant and aware of our standing in the business community. Thus we perform more and more efficiently and transpar-endy,” Akberali said.
With the award, the company is under pressure to consistendy perform with honour and dignity, he said. “And it is my earnest zeal to be the best."
This year Bangladesh Business Awards stepped into the 12th year of its journey that began in 2000. The award has become the country's premier recognition of businesses that have made major strides in economic development.
The Daily Star, the country’s most-read English newspaper, and DHL Express, the world's leading logistics company, introduced the award to honour the country's best businesses and the people behind them.
This year's awards ceremony will be held at
