Sorens Rughooputh has bagged Asia's Excellent Achiever Award

One of four siblings from a poor family, born and brought up in Palma on the tiny island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, Sorens Rughooputh soared in life through toil, sacrifices and determination.  He didn’t have an easy childhood as a village boy helping his parents to meet both ends by raising a cow and selling the milk.  

At a young age as soon as he stepped out of secondary school (by the way, Sorens disliked studies then!), though he had the opportunity to enroll at a university, he started working to help his parents financially.  He obtained a job in an insurance company as underwriting officer in 1990 and moved on to another one in 1996, quickly demonstrating exceptional capabilities and he was appointed as Underwriter.  His talent was acknowledged by an important conglomerate in 2000, the British American Insurance Company in Mauritius.  Sorens, with his great potential and determination quickly climbed the career ladder to Project Manager – New Life Operations System, Operations Manager, Vice President – Technical Services, Senior Vice President – Business and Channel Development.  Having successfully led teams of over 750 people, Sorens was selected in 2010 as finalist for Sales Director of the Year in the British Excellence Sales and Marketing Award (BESMA).   2012 brought a turning point in his life when he was seconded to Bramer Life - Botswana as Deputy CEO/Principal Officer until June 2015.  In July 2015 Sorens was appointed as  Chief Technical Officer at National Insurance Company in charge of the Life Insurance Operations, Loan Department, Facilities and Logistics until December 2020. Sorens  joined Island Life Assurance in January 2021, a company part of the Currimjee Group of Companies in Mauritius.

Sorens was a speaker at the first Pan-African Bancassurance & Alternative Distribution Channels Conference 2018 in Accra, on the topic “Embracing Disruption to meet Customer Expectations from Protection to Enrichment”.   He holds an Executive MBA, Diploma in Insurance from the Chartered Insurance Institute UK, Fellow Certified Insurance Professional of the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF), a Fellow Member of the Institute of Sales and Marketing Management UK.  

In 2017, Sorens travelled to the US to become a Certified Canfield Trainer on The Success Principles and created his own brand ACHIEVERS TRAIL – PRO. TEENS . KIDS  to share the principles. So far, he has already introduced these principles to 450+ persons in his Achiever’s Trail Workshops to develop and guide the upcoming leaders to live their dreams. 

In March 2020, Sorens released his first book Achiever’s Trail – The Beginning. Achiever’s Trail – The Beginning is a book with a good autobiographical and inspirational blend.  In simple language using very down-to-earth examples of events that can happen in anyone’s life!  Sorens Rughooputh gives practical and encouraging guidelines to all those struggling in our stressful world today, and explains how to be self-confident and move out from our comfort zone to attain success.  The book is interesting and thought-provoking with some heart-wrenching situations when he narrates his childhood as a poor village boy, his relationship with his parents, siblings, neighbors and the death of his father.  It is also moving to read when later in his work life he faces much distress, also impacting his family, and how he copes with the situation.  He never gave up and by applying the Success Principles he kept moving on despite the odds.  

His life purpose: READ-LEARN-SHARE can be implemented by everyone to be a “better version of ourselves” as he says.  Sorens explains clearly how to achieve our goals even we have a price to pay.  Throughout the book, he makes good use of inspiring quotes from famous people.   After reading it, you feel motivated and ready to go out and conquer the world. He is also a Certified Trainer for Happy For No Reason by Marci Shimoff.  

After a fruitful professional career, he has been working on his life purpose: READ, LEARN and SHARE with the aim to create a pathway to move forward and help people by imparting his knowledge. Recently Sorens started a series of workshops with the Rotary Clubs in Mauritius. 

To be selected under the category of “Asia’s Individual Achievement Awards” and awarded the title of “Asia’s Excellent Achiever Award” by Asia Awards in association with RULA Awards and World Chamber is indeed a great honor. This is a booster to move forward in my Trail to Success and is only the beginning.
