Farmington Hills, MI – November 9, 2011 – Mostansar Virk, president and founder of EPIC Translations, has been named a 2011 Entrepreneur of Distinction award winner by Corp! Magazine, which made the announcement earlier this month.
“The Entrepreneurs of Distinction Awards and Michigan’s Top Chief Executives Awards were designed to pay tribute to Michigan business leaders who are thriving in the state,” said Jennifer Kluge, Corp! publisher. “This year’s winners illustrated drive and determination when it came to leading their business toward success in the new Michigan economy.”
The award is given annually to an owner of a private or public company based in Michigan who is actively involved in his/her business and chiefly responsible for its success. The business must be at least five years old and have been profitable for last two years.
Mostansar was chosen for several factors, including EPIC Translations’ 247% growth over the past two years; the addition of staff and a move to a larger office suite to accommodate expanding operations; and his work mentoring students, recent graduates and budding entrepreneurs.
Mostansar recently implemented an internship program at EPIC Translations and also served on the panel of judges for business plan for competition for the TIE conference last year. It involved reading seven business plans, listening to the entrepreneurs on the stage and then selecting a winner who would receive up to $25K in awards and in-kind services.
“On behalf of my team, I am honored to receive this award from Corp! Magazine,” Virk said. “The entire team at EPIC Translations works very hard to successfully carry out localization needs of our clients as they take their business into the international marketplace.”
The winners will be recognized in the November/December 2012 issue of Corp!, as well as during the Entrepreneurs of Distinction Awards Ceremony on Dec. 6, held at 7:30 a.m. at the MSU Management Education Center in Troy.
