What a win for our Investing Women Angel Investor! Hearty congratulations from the whole Investing Women Angels Team and the entrepreneurial, startup, and scale up business and investor communities.
Our Colleague, Dr Poonam Malik, was successful in winning the highly prestigious Award of ‘Women of the Year’ at the 16th Scottish Asian & Business Awards 2023 organised by Oceanic Consulting, in Glasgow.
Dr Malik received the Award for her contributions to Entrepreneurship, Investment, Innovation and making an inspiring difference to the commercialisation success of companies, to the society and Economy.
For a decade and a half these awards have celebrated the achievements of Scottish-Asian businesses and professionals whose continued graft and dedication has created a lasting legacy for what the Scottish Asian community are capable of as business leaders and drivers of the economy.
The awards demonstrate and recognise the massive contributions of Scottish-Asian businesses and professionals, and showcases the strength and impact the Asian community has on Scotland’s culture, skills, health and economy.
Poonam has supported Female Founders and business entrepreneurs over the last decades with Advisory, Mentoring, personal investments and governance expertise into early-stage and scaling deep-tech businesses.
