According to Dr. Datar, this is yet another recognition for Al Adil, which is the UAE’s leading name for Indian spices and masalas. “It is a great privilege to be honoured by RetailME and winning the coveted RetailME Icons award is an acknowledgement of our pioneering leadership in the business of retail in the Mena region. As I understand, stringent guidelines were followed by RetailME and this recognition will enable me and my team to add more responsibility to what we do. This will motivate us to provide enhanced value to our customers in a socially responsible manner. I wish to thank RetailME for providing me with this honor, which is also a reflection of the support I get from my beloved wife Vandana Datar, my sons and my dedicated team,” he said.


According to a note from the award organisers, the retailers who were honoured at the event have demonstrated great leadership, with clear examples of innovation.
