Manish Tiwari, founder of Here & Now 365, was recognised at the Chhattisgarh Rajyotsav 2025 event, where he received the Pravasi Bhartiya Honour from India’s Vice President, C.P. Radhakrishnan.
The award was presented as part of the celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of the formation of the state of Chhattisgarh. This year’s Rajyotsav ceremony honoured 37 individuals and four institutions across sectors such as cinema, literature, social development, and innovation. Recipients included filmmaker Anurag Basu. The event, which drew participation from national figures, artists, and innovators, followed earlier engagements in the week that included the Prime Minister of India.
Manish has built Here & Now 365 into one of UK’s most influential multicultural marketing agencies and played a transformative role in how brands and institutions engage with Britain’s richly diverse communities. His pioneering work has bridged communities, cultures, and continents through inclusive campaigns that champion diversity and strengthens UK’s global image.

He has dedicated this prestigious award to his mother and his late father, in gratitude for their guidance and values that continue to shape his journey. Manish’s late father, Professor Virendra Kumar Tiwari, who taught Anthropology at the local university in the same state has inspired in him a lifelong curiosity for knowledge, arts, and the human experiences. It was this upbringing, steeped in both intellectual depth and humble simplicity that has shaped his vision and courage to explore life and ideas in his own distinctive way.
