1) Lovin’ Business Visionary – Yousuf Bhai, Master Perfumer and Founder<\/h3>\n
Perfumes have a whole different fan base in Dubai. And Dr. Yusuf Madappan (more fondly known as Yousuf Bhai) tapped into this space beautifully with his art of perfumery.

The master perfumer took home the Business Visionary award with his long-lasting impression on the people.<\/p>\n

2) Lovin’ Charitable Act of The Year – Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, Healthcare Entrepreneur<\/h3>\n
Dr. Shamsheer’s community service is known right from his title of “Dr.”, but the act that won people’s hearts was his charitable contributions following the tragic Air India Flight 171 crash. Dr. Shamsheer pledged AED2.5 million to support affected families. The crash, which claimed the lives of four MBBS students and several relatives of medical professionals, left the families broken and stranded. In darkest hours like these, Dr Shamsheer’s kindness and empathy gave a ray of hope to the victims’ families.<\/p>\n
