It has not even been a month since Ooredoo Maldives celebrated their big win at this year’s Stevie Awards not by bagging just one award, but multiple; including winning the Gold Stevie for the Company of The Year in Telecommunications. They have proudly returned to social media platforms to announce another win – this time – snatching the title of the ‘Best Investor Relations Company Maldives’ at the Global Banking & Finance Awards 2020. Here is an interesting catch though. This is actually the third time they have won this award; one being on 2018 and the other being on 2019. Did you know that? I certainly did not.
For those who may be wondering, the Global Banking and Finance Awards was launched for the purpose of recognizing all sizes of prominent companies worldwide excelling in the global financial community in certain areas of expertise. It is aimed to reflect innovation, achievement, strategy, progressive and inspirational changes taking place within the financial sector.
Ooredoo Maldives was listed on the Maldives Stock Exchange for the first time August 2017 whereas at then even they were one of the largest listed companies in the country owing to the most successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) raising MVR 421,357,800 constituting to total 14,045,260 shares, basically being 9.5% of the issued paid-up shares of the company, attracting 8,257 investors.
