Co-Directors Jimal, Nishal and Devik Solanki of Taj Foods, an exhibitor at IFE 2026, have been awarded the title of Entrepreneur of the Year at the prestigious Asian Achievers Awards 2025, held at the London Hilton on Park Lane.

The Asian Achievers Awards, now in their 23rd year, are recognised as the UK’s foremost celebration of British Asian excellence. With over 500 nominations submitted this year across categories spanning Business, Arts and Culture, Community Service, and Leadership, Taj Foods’ Co-Directors were selected for their entrepreneurial vision, bold leadership, and ability to deliver meaningful impact for both society and the economy.

In their acceptance speech, the Solanki brothers said: “We are humbled and grateful to receive this award as Co-Directors. It reflects the trust and support of the people around us — our families, our colleagues, our customers, and our wider community. From the start, our mission has been to build with purpose, innovate fearlessly, and give back. This recognition inspires us to keep raising standards and creating opportunities that make a difference.”

The award marks a milestone in Taj Foods’ journey, underscoring the Co-Directors’ belief that resilience, innovation and collaboration can transform challenges into opportunities. Their recognition is not only a personal achievement but also a testament to the power of values-driven business to serve customers and communities alike.

The star-studded ceremony, attended by nearly 600 influential guests including business leaders, cultural icons and changemakers, was hosted by actor Nitin Ganatra OBE and Sky News presenter Anila Dhami. The evening also featured performances by acclaimed artists and raised vital funds for Parkinson’s UK through its annual charity auction
