Zambia is an emerging country inside the African Continent. Not at all like a portion of its neighbouring countries that have seen colossal development in the previous couple of decades, development and advancement over the republic of Zambia has been constrained. This can be significantly ascribed to defilement, high wrongdoing rates and related issues, moving back the nation from its development steps. The industries are continuously working to improve the economic scenario of the nation. Economic summits are one of the platforms for industries to join together and resolve the critical issues associated with a nation.
The 2017 African Summit was a successful event with participation from numerous industry and business personalities. Several noted businessman and corporate houses participated in this economic summit. Among them was Dr. Rajan Lekhraj Mahtani, a noted philanthropist, businessman and charity worker. Dr. Rajan Mahtani is among the most successful business personalities in Zambia. At the same time, these contributions, charity works as well as support to friends and peers is rarely made public as Dr. Mahtani rarely uses his philanthropic activities for gaining PR or increasing his reputation. This is unlike any other business entity or corporate houses as most of them engage in such activities with the objective of gaining traction on their reputation as well as increase their popularity.
As a result, it was surprising news to all when it was announced that Dr. Mahtani significantly contributed to the success of the African Forum Summit. His significant financial contribution helped the event in successfully fulfilling its objective. Despite the ongoing controversies and the inconveniences such as the case of Portland Cement Zambia, Dr. Mahtani has never shied away from helping those in real need. His companies are focussed towards the growth and development of the Zambian society and community and his philanthropic and charitable activities are also focussed towards improving the lives of the people of a nation which he considered as his home nation.
