 Good evening ladies and gentlemen, first and foremost wishing you seasons greetings and then I must acknowledge my loss of not being there amidst you. I honestly regret that I am missing such a prestigious event, but at the same time it gives me immense pleasure to be interacting with you at least virtually. In fact, I am leaving for Colombo tonight for SAAC Law and SAAC Chief Justice's Conference in my capacity as the Vice President of SAAC Law. And incidentally, my book on SAAC, which is comprising of eight South Asian nations, will be released, launched tomorrow by the Honourable Prime Minister in the presence of several dignitaries, including the Chief Justice's from eight South Asian nations. Hence, there was an inevitable situation for me. Having said that, I am sure you are enjoying this evening. Well, talking about the event, good governance is cardinal to any business or entrepreneurship. It is not exercising authority or dominance in a virtuous manner, but it is about a unique mix of accountability, innovation and societal obligation. In times of economic and political uncertainties around the globe, there is a dire need for public-private partnerships. It is now not only desirable, but I feel imperative that the new generation entrepreneurs and business leaders assume more responsibilities to the concerns faced by the humanity at large. The ACES Awards is one such meaningful and effective step towards recognition of exemplary contribution of the corporate bodies, brands and distinct entrepreneurs for their talents, successes and abilities in diverse areas of good governance, sustainability. For cause and novelty. Successful ventures are not made by chance, but I feel they are customised with dedication, determination and diligence, which I feel the ACES winners have in abundance. So wishing all the nominees and winners very best on their unique accomplishments. God bless all of you and the organisers and the team of mores led by none other than Shah. Thank you so much. God bless. Bye-bye.
