A Moment of Pride: Aamir Qutub Wins 2024 IABCA Young Professional of the Year Award
We’re absolutely buzzing with excitement here at Enterprise Monkey! Our CEO and Founder, Aamir Qutub, has just taken home the 2024 IABCA Young Professional of the Year Award, and we couldn’t be prouder. This incredible achievement was celebrated at the iconic Parliament House in Canberra, with none other than Prime Minister Anthony Albanese gracing the event. Talk about a night to remember!
What’s the IABCA All About?
The India Australia Business & Community Alliance (IABCA) isn’t just any organisation—it’s a powerhouse that recognises and celebrates those who bridge the gap between Australia and India. The IABCA Awards are a big deal, shining a spotlight on excellence in business, community leadership, and professional services.
For Aamir to be honoured with this award is a massive nod to his work in strengthening the ties between these two vibrant countries. It’s not just about the accolade itself; it’s about what it represents—a leader who’s making waves in the tech industry and beyond.
From Humble Beginnings to Unstoppable Innovation
Aamir’s story is nothing short of inspiring. Born in a small town in India, he arrived in Australia with big dreams and even bigger determination. He began his journey as a student at Deakin University, where he not only earned his MBA but also sharpened the leadership and entrepreneurial skills that have fuelled his success.
In 2014, with just $2000 and a garage in Geelong, Aamir founded Enterprise Monkey. Fast forward to today, and what started as a small venture has grown into an innovation powerhouse, employing 45 brilliant minds across Australia and India. Under Aamir’s visionary leadership, Enterprise Monkey has become a beacon of creativity, constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the tech world.
Why This Award Matters to Us
The IABCA Young Professional of the Year Award is a huge deal. It’s more than just a trophy—it’s a recognition of exceptional talent, leadership, and innovation. For us at Enterprise Monkey, this award is a reflection of our core values. It’s about bridging the digital divide for businesses, a mission that Aamir has driven with unwavering passion from day one.
This award isn’t just Aamir’s achievement; it’s a celebration of what we stand for at Enterprise Monkey. It’s about innovation, resilience, and the entrepreneurial spirit that inspires us to continually push the envelope.
A Big Thank You and What’s Next
We want to extend a massive thank you to the India Australia Business and Community Alliance for this recognition, and to all the event partners—Centre for Australia-India Relations, Deakin University, Commonwealth Bank, and Suzlon Group—who made this celebration possible.
