Introduction
At Qtonz Infosoft Pvt. Ltd., we have always believed that success is measured not just by milestones achieved in business but by the difference we make in the world around us. This belief was profoundly validated as we received the “Social Impact Award” at the Hall of Fame APAC Summit 2024, organized by Google.
Google presented this award to Qtonz Infosoft Pvt. Ltd. to recognise publishers who are making a positive impact on their communities. These publishers have not only excelled in their own business but have also used their knowledge to improve the lives of people around them. Their efforts reflect in everything they do, in their workplaces and local areas, as they add value and uplift their communities while growing together.
This achievement is not just a testament to our work but a powerful reminder of the transformative potential of technology when aligned with purpose and heart. This prestigious award celebrates a journey spanning over a decade—one dedicated to social responsibility, community care, and unwavering compassion.
Honouring 10 Years of Impact:
The Social Impact Award was presented to Qtonz Infosoft Pvt. Ltd. in recognition of a decade of meaningful initiatives aimed at uplifting the underprivileged and supporting those in need. Over the years, we have proudly engaged in a variety of social activities, including:

These efforts, driven by our team’s commitment to making a difference, reflect our belief that technology and humanity go hand in hand.
An Unexpected Honor: The Email That Started It All
The journey began with a simple yet life-changing email from Google. When we read the words “Congratulations! We are thrilled to invite you to an exclusive APAC App Summit Hall of Fame Celebration Dinner on November 4th” the office was abuzz with excitement. It was a moment of disbelief and pride—validation of the work we’ve poured our hearts into over the past decade.
From helping needy individuals to supporting old age homes, assisting mentally disabled children, and providing critical aid during the COVID-19 pandemic, this recognition felt like a tribute to every small yet impactful initiative we’ve undertaken.
A Rare Honor: Standing Out on the Global Stage
The Social Impact Award holds extraordinary significance for Qtonz Infosoft Pvt. Ltd., not just because of the recognition but because of the sheer scale and exclusivity of the competition. Out of all the organizations across Asia, only 17 nominees were selected to compete in this prestigious event. From India, Qtonz stood as the sole representative, carrying the nation’s flag with immense pride.
The awards spanned just five categories, each focusing on a distinct area of excellence. Within the Social Impact category, the competition was intense, with only three nominees making it to the final round. Standing among such impactful peers was an honour in itself, but when our name was announced as the winner, it marked an unparalleled moment of pride.
This win was not just about us; it was a testament to the power of purpose-driven work, the dedication of our team, and the belief that technology can truly transform lives. Representing India and achieving this on a global stage underscores the potential of Indian innovation and compassion.
This award is more than recognition—it’s a symbol of what’s possible when vision, effort, and impact converge.
Preparing for Vietnam: Anticipation and Excitement
As the event drew closer, the excitement in our Rajkot office was palpable. Preparations were in full swing—from finalizing travel plans to imagining the grand stage in Vietnam. For many of us, this was more than an event; it was an opportunity to represent the values and heart of Qtonz on a global platform.
When the day finally arrived, our journey from Rajkot to Vietnam was filled with camaraderie, anticipation, and endless discussions about what the award ceremony would be like.
A Moment of Pride in Vietnam
The award ceremony in Vietnam was a humbling experience, surrounded by innovators and leaders from across the globe. Accepting this honour on an international stage was not just a celebration of our work but a reminder of the responsibility we carry as changemakers.
Standing on that stage, we reflected on the countless stories of hope and resilience that have defined our journey. From brightening the lives of children to standing by communities during the toughest times, every effort has been a testament to what we can achieve when we come together for a cause.
The Award Ceremony: A Moment to Remember
The APAC Summit 2024 Event in Vietnam was nothing short of spectacular. The atmosphere was electric, with innovators and changemakers from around the world coming together to celebrate excellence and impact.
As the host announced Qtonz as the winner of the “Social Impact Award,” the room erupted into applause. Walking onto the stage, we can’t express the exact emotions that we felt but it’s kind of mixed emotions—pride, gratitude, and a deep sense of fulfilment. Accepting the award was a moment of pure joy, a culmination of 10 years of dedication and hard work.
The shining trophy in our hands was not just a symbol of recognition but a beacon of inspiration for everyone at Qtonz.
Coming from Rajkot, a city in Gujarat, we could hardly believe that our humble acts of kindness could make such a profound impact, let alone be recognized and celebrated on a global stage.
Sharing the Joy with Our Team
Back in our home country India, the news of the award brought immense happiness to our team. Celebrations filled the office as everyone felt a personal connection to this achievement. From the developers who contributed their skills to the support staff who ensured everything ran smoothly, this award belonged to every single member of Qtonz.
Seeing the joy on their faces reinforced what we’ve always believed: that success is best shared.
This award is a testament to the collective passion and dedication of every individual at Qtonz. Our journey, which began with small acts of kindness in Rajkot, has grown into a global recognition.
