Manish Tiwari, Founder and Chairman of Here&Now365, has been named Media Leader of the Year at the British Asian Who’s Who Awards 2026 Decade and featured in the British Asians Power 100 list.

The awards, organised by Samara Events, honour British Asian leaders across business, media, public service, and the creative industries.

Tiwari received the award from Lord Karan Bilimoria at the ceremony.

Lord Bilimoria said Tiwari “represents the very best of modern media leadership.” 

Lord Ranger also praised the recognition, saying Tiwari’s work has “consistently raised the bar for innovation and inclusion.” 

Pranav Bhanot MBE described the honour as ‘richly deserved’ and a reflection of the influence Tiwari has built over many years.

The latest accolade adds to a series of recent recognitions for Here&Now365 and its founder. 

Earlier this year, Here&Now365 was named a Top 50 UK advertising agency by Campaign 2026. 

Tiwari also received the Campaign MEFA Hammer Awards 2026 and was recognised in the IPA iList 2026.

Together, these honours underline Tiwari’s continued influence across media and advertising, as well as the growing visibility of British Asian leadership in the UK’s creative and business sectors.
