23-year-old care home operations director of Lambhill Court Ltd. in Glasgow, Arti Poddar, won the Young Achiever of the Year Award at Eastern Eye's 2007 Asian Business Awards held on 8 May at the Hilton, Mayfair in London.

The Asian Business Awards ceremony is an annual celebration of British Asian entrepreneurs and brings together the most successful in the nation to provide an event that will inspire future generations.

Sponsored by BDO, Fortis, Hamptons, KPMG and PWC, and representing one of the most important events in the Asian business calendar, the ceremony was hosted by well known TV presenter Clair Nasir and popular actor Nitin Ganatra.

The well attended event welcomed prominent members of the Asian business community to celebrate the success and significant contributions they've made within Britain.

In addition to the young achiever of the year award, other categories included: business newcomer of the year, entrepreneur of the year, the community award, the best Asian business of the year and an award for business person of the year.

Reflecting on her success Miss Poddar related that her passion and commitment for quality care for the elderly had been cultivated by her parents' inspiring vision and revolutionary model of care homes, which promotes independence, security and living life to the fullest in your golden years.

"This acknowledgment is a truly remarkable achievement. In addition to recognising my accomplishments, it also credits my parents' determination and dedication to redefine and continually improve care for our elderly in Scotland," said Miss Poddar.

Also actively involved in the Patanjali Yog Peeth (UK) Trust as campaign manager for their Scottish drive to improve the nation's health (www.divyayogascotland.org.uk), she is a key organiser of Scotland's largest ever six-day yoga health workshop to be held at Glasgow's SECC from 19-24 July.
