Accra, Dec 29 (London Dailys/GNA) – The Global Entrepreneurship Festival has honoured Amar Deep Singh Hari, Executive Chairman of IPMC, with the prestigious Global Recognition Award, celebrating his outstanding contributions to technology, entrepreneurship, and human development over the last four decades at this year’s Global Entrepreneurship Festival 2025 in Accra, Ghana.
A visionary leader and one of West Africa’s most influential tech pioneers, Hari has dedicated more than 40 years to building and scaling enterprises that have transformed industries and empowered communities. Arriving in West Africa at just 18, he went on to establish IPMC, now widely regarded as the region’s leading technology conglomerate and a driver of Ghana’s digital revolution.
Under his leadership, IPMC has become a foundational pillar in West Africa’s tech ecosystem — powering major data centres, automating thousands of businesses, and training tens of thousands of young professionals through its ICT education programmes. Hari’s commitment to sustainable development is also evident in IPMC’s wide-reaching CSR initiatives, from medical infrastructure support to ICT labs for rural communities and solar streetlight projects that have improved everyday life across underserved regions.
His exemplary work has earned him multiple national and international honours, including recognition as Ghana’s Best Entrepreneur of the Decade. His entrepreneurial footprint spans IT distribution, software development, hospitality, entertainment, real estate, retail, and agriculture, with ventures established across Ghana, India, the USA, Canada, and neighbouring West African countries.
Beyond business, Hari has served on the founding teams and boards of numerous organisations across technology, science, and education. He is widely respected for championing arts, culture, and sports initiatives, as well as mentoring emerging entrepreneurs across the continent. Known for his values of purpose-driven leadership and community upliftment, he continues to be a guiding influence for the next generation of African innovators.
A global traveller and lifelong student of cultures, Hari remains committed to empowering others while promoting excellence and social impact.
The GEF 2025 Global Recognition Award celebrates not only his enduring legacy but also the remarkable global impact of his work in advancing technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
