LEADING THE CHARGE
This year, 2021, was meant to be a turning point where the idea of a post-pandemic world becomes closer to reality. We have plenty of challenges ahead of us, along with plenty of hiccups that have caused us to stumble, but I think it’s safe to say that, overall, we’re heading in the right direction. In our previous issue, we explored the rising confidence from one of the hardest hit industries, travel and tourism. In this edition, we take a look at 40 personalities leading the charge towards change in their own respective worlds.
Similar to our previous 40 Under 40 lists, compiling the name of candidates and reviewing completed interviews is a heartening endeavour. It gives me a glimpse into the hearts and minds of a new generation that are striving to create a better world. As cliched as that may sound, I’m sure that many of you will agree with me – after going through this year’s list – that this part of the world is in good hands. We have young entrepreneurs and architects, founders of medical companies and design studios, musicians and more. We have stories of success, tales of overcoming hardships and grand plans for tomorrow.
On top of all that, for the cover of this issue, we reunite with a friend of Prestige, the beautiful Noi Aswari, to catch up on her life after her previous two appearances in the magazine. Of course, we also have plenty of other stories, from a more extensive look at the recently-opened Andaz Bali for anyone planning their next vacation, to updates from the worlds of fashion, watches, home and living, etc. On that note, I’d leave you to explore the this issue and, of course, the 2021 edition of Prestige’s 40 Under 40. Happy reading.
