Global leaders, diplomats and entrepreneurs gathered at DoubleTree by Hilton, M Square, as the Unified Brainz ecosystem unveiled two landmark ventures and honoured leadership excellence across Asia, Africa and the Gulf.
Unified Brainz today hosted the 8th Global Business Leadership Forum & Awards in Dubai, convening global leaders, diplomats, investors and entrepreneurs from across Asia, Africa, the Gulf, Europe and the Americas. Held at DoubleTree by Hilton, M Square, the landmark gathering was headlined by the launch of two new ventures under the Unified Brainz ecosystem — the Asian African Cricket League (AACL) and Face Garage — alongside a ceremony honouring leadership excellence through the Global Business Leadership Awards.
The Forum was opened by Dr. G. D. Singh, Founder & Global President – Group of Unified Brainz, who delivered the Welcome Address, followed by a Special Address from Dr. Neetu Singh, Co-Founder & Managing Director – Group. Framing Dubai as the meeting point of Asia and Africa, the leadership called on the world’s changemakers to build influence anchored in humanity and legacy. The day featured keynote, featured and visionary sessions from international speakers — among them Sarrah Kheir, Sean Cooper, Dr. Cordell B. Robinson and Ashmita Muthoora — and a leadership panel exploring the future of business across the two continents.
A WORLD-FIRST: THE ASIAN AFRICAN CRICKET LEAGUE
The centrepiece of the day was the official launch of the Asian African Cricket League (AACL) — the world’s first T20 franchise cricket league built to connect Asia and Africa. Conceived under the Unified Brainz and Asian African Chamber of Commerce & Industry (AACCI) umbrella, the league will field eight founding city franchises and carries a signature rule unlike any other in world cricket: every Playing XI will feature four Asian, four African and three Rest-of-World players — ensuring both continents share the field in every single match.
The league was launched on stage by its Founder & Chairman, Dr. G. D. Singh; its Co-Founder, Dr. Neetu Singh Marwah; and its Global Envoy & President — Capital, Media & Strategic Partnerships, Dr. Kishor Navandar, together with the Guests of Honour present. Full details of the inaugural season will be announced shortly. Franchise, sponsorship, investment and media enquiries are open at www.aaclcricket.com.
“Cricket unites Asia and Africa like nothing else. With the Asian African Cricket League, we are putting both continents on the same field — and turning goodwill between nations into a shared future. In Dubai, crossroads of the world, we chose collaboration over competition, and legacy over applause.”
— DR. G. D. SINGH, FOUNDER & GLOBAL PRESIDENT – GROUP, UNIFIED BRAINZ
A NEW VENTURE IN SELF-CARE: FACE GARAGE
The Forum also marked the soft launch and logo unveiling of Face Garage, a premium face-care venture under Unified Brainz Virtuoso Limited. Built on the philosophy of “Scan. Treat. Maintain.”, Face Garage is designed as a structured face-care centre for men and women, bringing expertise and consistency to a category too often approached on impulse. Its first centre is scheduled to open in January 2027. The identity was unveiled on stage by Dr. G. D. Singh, Founder, and Dr. Neetu Singh Marwah, Co-Founder.
HONOURING LEADERSHIP EXCELLENCE
The Forum culminated in the Global Business Leadership Awards, recognising visionary leaders and enterprises for excellence and impact across industries. The Global Leadership Award of the Asian African Chamber of Commerce & Industry was conferred upon Professor Okeke Gerald Ndubuisi, First Professor of Climate Change & Environmental Sustainability in Africa. Honourees were celebrated across categories including International Law Firm of the Year, Business Leader of the Year, The Entrepreneur of the Year, Emerging Women Leader of the Year and Digital Transformation Leader 2026, among others — alongside honorary recognitions by the World Peace & Diplomacy Organisation and leadership features by Passion Vista magazine.
