In a video message, he said: “Many people believe that I have received this honor because of my capabilities as a designer. But in reality, it is due to the corporate social responsibility our label has shown, the work we have done over the course of the past 10 years with women in rural villages, that is the reason for this award. We would like to get more women from remote areas and villages on board and provide them with jobs to increase their income,” he added.
