GG2 LEADERSHIP &
DIVERSITY AWARDS
We are hosts of the GG2 Diversity Conference and GG2 Leadership & Diversity Awards, and creator of the GG2 Power List, celebrating the best of ethnic minority talent and thought-leadership.
The GG2 Leadership & Diversity Awards were founded in 1999 by Asian Media Group, Britain’s biggest Asian publishing house, to shine a spotlight on Britain’s most enterprising and talented black, Asian and minority ethnic high achievers. Today, it is the premier awards for inclusion, diversity and leadership in the UK, celebrating outstanding success across a range of sectors, including medicine, law, technology and within the community. The GG2 Power List, chronicling and profiling Britain’s 101 most influential Asians, is launched at the event, shedding light on the eclectic mix of talent within the Asian community.
Today diversity is very much a buzzword, but two decades ago, it was just a phrase barely uttered in boardrooms of the City or in the corridors of power in Whitehall. It’s been one of Asian Media Group’s primary missions to give a voice to ethnic communities, to showcase talent and to celebrate success. And the GG2 Leadership & Diversity Awards has been doing just that for two decades.
Our History
Our beginnings may have been humble, but the ambitions of our founder, Mr Ramniklal Solanki CBE, were both noble and audacious. The audacity of the group’s founder Ramniklal Solanki was to start a Gujarati newspaper with no start-up capital when there were few Indians in the UK and the technology to produce such a paper did not exist in the country.
Mr Solanki had collected some advance subscriptions to fund his new journalistic enterprise. From those difficult early beginnings when the paper was produced on a Gujarati typewriter, Mr Solanki travelled across Britain, going from town to city, knocking on doors and selling subscriptions.
A journalist to the core, Ramniklal Solanki had come to Britain as a foreign correspondent for a group of Indian newspapers some four years before the launch of Garavi Gujarat.
