Gurugram, India -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/27/2018 --The world's preferred credentialing company made its presence felt yet again at the Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Awards 2018. Rajiv Gupta, President and Group CEO, added yet another laurel to his already impressive wreath – the Asia Pacific Entrepreneurship Award in the hotly contested Professional and Business Services segment, a shining example of outstanding leadership and entrepreneurial excellence.
The award ceremony, held at the grand JW Marriot Hotel in the Indian capital, Delhi, earlier this month on April 13, 2018, saw the attendance of several luminaries, including the Minister of State for External Affairs of India, General V K Singh; Dr. Fong Chan Onn, the chairman of Enterprise Asia and former Minister of Human Resources of Malaysia, and Mr. William NG, President of Enterprise Asia.
Rajiv Gupta, awarded in the Professional and Business Services category, stood his own ground against some of the biggest and most respected names in Indian commerce and industry. Rajiv is not new to winning awards, being one of the global pioneers of the credentialing industry, who has almost singlehandedly, and taken it to 183 countries across the world.

The awards are held in 14 countries including India, and are considered the "Olympics" because of the stringent screening process.
