Liveris and Godrej were presented with the prestigious annual award yesterday at the USIBC's annual gala.
Both were honored for creating inclusive business environments, integrating India in the global supply chain and advancing core values such as manufacturing, innovation and scale in tough market conditions, the USIBC said.

"They are indicative of the power of private enterprise in building strong ties between India and the US," said Aghi.
Upon receiving the award, Godrej said the US and India enjoyed a strong economic relationship, both in terms of trade and investment.
"With India’s strong expected growth over the next few years, this relationship will grow multifold and will be helped by the excellent work by the US-India Business Council," said Godrej.
