Celina Jaitly then joined the industry’s senior leaders on stage to present the inaugural GLOBOIL Conscious Leadership for Peace and Harmony Award 2026 to Shri Dinesh Shahra.
Actor Sonu Sood, widely admired for his humanitarian work, made his entrance after the evening’s fashion segment and stayed on stage with the GLOBOIL Award Committee to present the first set of awards. He was felicitated by the organisers and spent time with guests and award winners through the evening. Of the night’s honours, Mr. Priyam Patel of N.K. Proteins was named GLOBOIL India Man of the Year 2026 and Mr. Vijay Data of Vijay Solvex received the GLOBOIL India Legend 2026 award. In all, more than 25 awards were presented across individual, company and trade categories.
The entertainment line-up included the Harmony Heaven Choir, who performed through the evening and over dinner, and mimicry artist and stand-up comedian Shaarang Shringarpure, who returned for a second set that opened with a few minutes on stage alongside Sonu Sood. Between the business sessions, the awards and the music, the evening gave delegates the time to unwind and strengthen the relationships the trade runs on, including through the Asia Africa Agri Alliance.
Speaking on the occasion, Aadil Singh, Director, Tefla’s, said, “GLOBOIL has always been where this industry comes to do business and to meet each other. The days are about markets and policy, and the evening is about the people. This year we wanted delegates to leave with both: three days of serious conversation about where the trade goes next, and a night they will talk about. Having Sonu Sood and Celina Jaitly with us, alongside the Harmony Heaven Choir and Shaarang, made it that night. Our thanks to IPF, to every partner and sponsor, and to everyone who travelled to Mumbai for the 29th edition.”
