In a glittering ceremony that featured humour-packed moments, a virtuoso violin recital, and a scintillating hula hoop dance performance, Power Minister R.K. Singh presented businessline’s Changemaker of the Year award to the Reserve Bank of India for steering the country through the turbulent period of the pandemic. The ‘utterly butterly’ beloved brand, Amul, was crowned Iconic Changemaker of the Year.
Receiving the award, Jayen Mehta, Managing Director, GCMMF (Amul), light-heartedly quipped, “Early in the morning, at 5.00 a.m., you will see only two changemakers - newspapers and doodhwalas [milkmen].”
Mr. Mehta went on to acknowledge the 36 lakh women changemakers of Amul, on behalf of whom, he “was accepting this award”. “It is the second strongest food brand in the world. Amul’s cooperative model has demonstrated that when people, the marginalised, and the women come together, they can create a new model of development,” he emphasised.
