Indian walks away with Europe Business Assembly award

Organised by EBA and attended by companies from other African countries, the event saw politicians, businessmen, professors, scientists, artists and others, whose work helped to further the economic, scientific and cultural development of society, as the International Socrates Awards nominees.
