The inaugural edition of the awards was presented on the 50th Foundation Day of IIMB, which took place on October 28, 2023. Each ASA recipient received a citation, and their names were engraved on the institute’s Wall of Fame.

In this year’s ceremony, the ASA honors were granted to two distinguished individuals: Shailendra Goswami (PGP 1977), Chairman and Managing Director of Pushkaraj Group, and Saif Qureishi (PGP 1988), Founder, CEO, and Managing Director of KRYFS Power Components Ltd.
