On the occasion, Roshan Abbas, President EEMA, said, “‘God lies in the details’. When an event happens a lot of people are backstage who work to make it successful. They are spread across different regions of the country. These Spotlight Awards is an effort to take the Spotlight to these shining stars who very often go unrecognized. With this kind of recognition they will be recognized as experts in their respective fields.” He also added, ‘We look forward to everyone’s support and work towards the best of innovations for the development of this event ecosystem.’
Executive Vice President, Samit Garg, also added, “The Zonal Spotlight Awards were launched almost when we got hit by the pandemic. But, it was very encouraging to note that we’ve received over 1600+ entries in over 53 categories across four zones. Interestingly a lot of participation came from tier 2 and 3 cities. Our endeavour is to highlight and promote their creativity and effectiveness to the event world. Whether they win or not, their work should get recognition it deserves and that is what we attempt to do with this.
Himanshu Shah, Chair, Zonal Spotlight Awards, said, “EEMA works have been set up to work for the entire ecosystem .There are various recognitions that happen on the national level. These people compete in their respective regions more than with the national players. Keeping this in mind EEMA came up with this format of the Zonal Spotlight Awards. He also said, “As the Chair of these awards, our philosophy was to unite the entire event industry. We analyzed how to be more inclusive at the regional level and ensure the judging was done keeping all the essential parameters in mind. We assure, these awards will create a strong identity for these players in their respective region and target market.”
Vinod Janardhan, Co-Chair, Zonal Spotlight Awards, said, “We at the Zonal Spotlight Awards 2020 are here to celebrate the best of the best in our industry. We have seen a really strong commitment amongst the jury on evaluating the final results for these coveted set of awards. These awards show true innovation and leadership amongst the event fraternity at the regional level. We’re glad to receive so many entries in its very first season. We hope that we get more participation and we do a bigger event even next year.”

Executive Vice President, Samit Garg, also added, “The Zonal Spotlight Awards were launched almost when we got hit by the pandemic. But, it was very encouraging to note that we’ve received over 1600+ entries in over 53 categories across four zones. Interestingly a lot of participation came from tier 2 and 3 cities. Our endeavour is to highlight and promote their creativity and effectiveness to the event world. Whether they win or not, their work should get recognition it deserves and that is what we attempt to do with this.
Himanshu Shah, Chair, Zonal Spotlight Awards, said, “EEMA works have been set up to work for the entire ecosystem .There are various recognitions that happen on the national level. These people compete in their respective regions more than with the national players. Keeping this in mind EEMA came up with this format of the Zonal Spotlight Awards. He also said, “As the Chair of these awards, our philosophy was to unite the entire event industry. We analyzed how to be more inclusive at the regional level and ensure the judging was done keeping all the essential parameters in mind. We assure, these awards will create a strong identity for these players in their respective region and target market.”
Vinod Janardhan, Co-Chair, Zonal Spotlight Awards, said, “We at the Zonal Spotlight Awards 2020 are here to celebrate the best of the best in our industry. We have seen a really strong commitment amongst the jury on evaluating the final results for these coveted set of awards. These awards show true innovation and leadership amongst the event fraternity at the regional level. We’re glad to receive so many entries in its very first season. We hope that we get more participation and we do a bigger event even next year.”
