The reception was jointly organised by City Hindus Network, City Sikhs, the Asian Women of Achievement/AAWL, and the UK Department for Business and Trade's Global Entrepreneur Programme, according to a post by City Sikhs on X. The organisers thanked Raja's office for hosting the event and the panellists for participating.
The panel featured Bharti Radia, founder of BloomsYard; Rina Ladva, managing director for the UK and Ireland at Miro; Rina Sond, chief executive officer of Intangen; and Zamiha Desai MBE, founder of RecommendAsian. According to the organisers, the speakers shared insights from their professional and entrepreneurial journeys.
City Sikhs was among the founding organisations behind South Asian Heritage Month, which was launched at the House of Commons in July 2019 through a collaboration between City Sikhs, Faiths Forum for London, the Grand Trunk Project and the Partition Commemoration Campaign. The annual observance, co-founded by Jasvir Singh CBE and Dr. Binita Kane, runs from July 1 to July 31 and celebrates the heritage of communities with roots in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan and the Maldives.
The UK Department for Business and Trade's Global Entrepreneur Programme, one of the event's co-organisers, supports high-growth international entrepreneurs looking to establish businesses in the United Kingdom.
City Sikhs said additional details about the reception, including the full list of attendees, were not immediately available.
