TT Correspondent |  |  12 Jun 2012

The founders of DataWind Ltd., Raja Singh Tuli and Suneet Singh Tuli were awarded the Technology Achievement Award by the Indo-Canadian Chamber of Commerce (ICCC at its annual Awards and Gala night at the Metro Toronto Convention Center.

 

The Technology Achievement Award was presented by Canadian Minister of Natural Resources, Honourable Joseph Oliver and ICCC President Satish Thakkar. “Our goal was to bring out the role models and celebrate their achievements in order to inspire, motivate and acknowledge their contribution to the fabric of Canadian society,” said Thakkar.

 

Serial entrepreneurs, Raja and Suneet have launched a number successful technology ventures over the last twenty years that resulted in successful initial public offerings on the Nasdaq stock market and products that even received recognition by the Guinness book of records.
