Kirit Patel, the Chairman and CEO of Motibhai and Company Limited, expressed gratitude for the positive environment created by the Coalition government, which he believes provides Fijians with enhanced opportunities for work and life in Fiji. His remarks came during the Prime Minister’s International Business Awards, where Motibhai and Company won the prestigious Supreme Award, and Patel was honored as Executive of the Year.
Patel attributed much of the company’s success to the lifting of the media decree that had historically posed challenges. He noted that the abolishment of these restrictions allowed their subsidiary, The Fiji Times, to excel, setting a foundation for the entire group to thrive. “The important part of the new coalition government has given businesses, and individuals a total new space to operate and work in,” he stated.
Under Patel’s leadership, Motibhai and Company Limited was recognized not only for its commercial achievements but also for its commitment to job creation, innovation, social responsibility, and resilience, all of which contribute to sustainable growth and social cohesion.
Patel’s recognition as Executive of the Year highlights his visionary leadership and strategic foresight, which have propelled the Motibhai Group to greater heights. His focus on business growth, employee development, and community engagement has positioned him as a noteworthy figure in Fiji’s economic landscape. Investment Fiji lauded him as a true inspiration for his outstanding contributions to both the economy and society.
This recognition not only underscores the success of Motibhai and Company but also reflects a broader trend of optimism and opportunity in Fiji’s business environment.
As a hopeful perspective, the acknowledgment of such achievements indicates a bright future for other businesses in Fiji, suggesting that continued collaboration and innovation can lead to similar successes across various sectors. The collaborative spirit fostered by the current government is likely to promote further economic growth and resilience in the community.
