The awards ceremony, held on 2 October 2026 at The Palms by Eagles in Accra, brought attention to individuals whose achievements continue to inspire future generations.
A Legacy of Business Leadership Through B5 Plus
Beyond her work in education, Mrs Tanuja Mukesh Thakwani is a co-founder of B5 Plus Limited, one of Ghana’s leading steel manufacturing companies.
Together with her husband, Mr Mukesh V. Thakwani, Chief Executive Officer of B5 Plus, she has been associated with the development of a business that has become an important participant in Ghana’s industrial sector.
B5 Plus supplies steel and iron products to the construction, infrastructure, manufacturing and industrial sectors, contributing to local production, employment opportunities and economic development.
The company’s continued investments in manufacturing capacity and industrial infrastructure reflect its commitment to strengthening Ghana’s position as a manufacturing hub in West Africa.
Mrs Thakwani’s recognition also draws attention to the contributions of women entrepreneurs and business leaders whose work supports economic development and creates opportunities for future generations.
Championing Educational Excellence at DPS International Ghana
Education remains an important part of Mrs Thakwani’s leadership journey.
As Director of DPS International School Ghana, she is associated with an institution established in Tema in 2010 to provide quality international education and support the development of future leaders.
The school offers a comprehensive educational experience, combining academic excellence with extracurricular development, personal growth and international learning opportunities.
With its emphasis on discipline, innovation and holistic education, DPS International Ghana has established itself as a respected institution serving students from Ghana and beyond.
The school’s guiding philosophy, Service Beyond Self, reflects a commitment to developing responsible individuals who can contribute positively to society.
Mrs Thakwani’s award recognises the importance of leadership that extends beyond commercial success to include education, mentorship and long-term social development.
B5 Plus and DPS International: A Shared Commitment to Ghana
The relationship between B5 Plus and DPS International Ghana illustrates the broader commitment of the Thakwani family to corporate social responsibility and community development.
Over the years, the two institutions have participated in initiatives supporting education, healthcare and community welfare.
In 2025, B5 Plus Group and DPS International announced educational scholarships for children of victims of Ghana’s 6 August helicopter tragedy, providing an example of how private institutions can support families and communities during difficult times.
Such initiatives demonstrate a philosophy of giving back to society while investing in the future of the country.

For B5 Plus and DPS International Ghana, this latest honour represents an acknowledgement of the value of combining enterprise, educational development and social responsibility.
