Ayesha Hasan and Yamuna Hasan win Best Gen Z award of the Year by Entrepreneur Middle East

The Gen Z power duo watched by millions daily capped a landmark year with another major win, reinforcing their growing cultural and generational influence.

Award introductions are exciting, yes. However, the energy level of the entire venue surged several notches higher when Ayesha Hasan and Yamuna Hasan were called on stage to receive the Best Gen Z of the Year Award by the prestigious Entrepreneur Middle East in Dubai.

This was a room stacked with heavyweight entrepreneurs, billionaires, real-estate bigshots, tech founders, royal family members and industry leaders. Yet all these juggernauts were on their feet, rapturous in applause, as two Gen Z trailblazers walked up to claim their highly coveted title.

Winning in front of the World’s greatest

Their win meant crushing the game in front of the biggest names disrupting business. Upon receiving the distinction that broke barriers, Ayesha opened with gratitude, aimed directly at their millions of fans for their endless support. She spoke with excitement about representing Gen Z as the most powerful generation. Then it was Yamuna’s turn, delivering a one-two-punch closing statement reiterating the inextinguishable fire that Gen Z possesses — they do not wait for the future; they create it. It could not have been said any better.

A breakout year

Talk about capping a groundbreaking 2025 with a big bang. For context, since publishing their bestselling book The Art of Miracles, they have been inundated with awards and recognition. And why not? They created a masterpiece so trailblazing that people across generations swear by its uplifting messages.

Gen Z celebrity power, all day, any day

Add to that the unapologetic, it-is-what-it-is, self-worth-inducing snippets from their podcast, which led to the ever-viral Sabrina Carpenter sketch on Saturday Night Live — one that instantly pulled celebrities such as Katy Perry and Steph Curry into their world. At the end of the day, the duo stepped into the role of being the mouthpiece of Gen Z without hesitation, because they know they can.

This Best Gen Z Award by Entrepreneur Middle East is yet another feather in their cap — and a massive one at that — especially given the calibre of attendees and the critical acclaim and respect the event commands. But here’s a disclaimer: they still have a lot in store. If 2025 was big, 2026 will certainly be bigger. Watch this space.
