Mr. Tarun Das, founding trustee of the Ananta Aspen Centre and former Director General Confederation of the Indian Industry (CII) was conferred the Honorary Citizen Award by President of Singapore, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, for his invaluable contributions to India-Singapore relations, at a special investiture ceremony held in New Delhi on 15.01.2025.
The award for outstanding contributions by a non-Singaporean to the country’s growth and development is the highest civilian recognition to be conferred to a non citizen. Mr. Das is the second Indian after the late Mr. Ratan Tata to receive this prestigious award.
Over the years, Mr. Das has initiated and led key strategic dialogues, and worked tirelessly towards expanding collaborations between the two nations. The recognition and acknowledgement of his efforts towards strengthening the bilateral relations of the two countries is a true honor to him.
