Choosing the winners for the India Business Leader Awards was no easy feat as the nominees were all accomplished and distinguished in their respective fields. The selected winners are stalwarts who have made significant contributions towards economic growth and are earnestly striving to establish profitable, sustainable, and socially-conscious businesses.
The India Business Leader Awards followed a rigourous, transparent, and objective selection process that evaluated nominees based on a set of stringent criteria. The CNBC-TV18 editorial panel and its research team used a three-phase methodology, which is a comprehensive exercise based on various factors, such as financial performance, leadership, creativity, innovation, and social responsibility. Additionally, the nominees' ability to create short-term advantage, long-term value, a competitive edge, and leadership in the business community were also assessed. This unique process ensures that only the most deserving candidates are selected for these prestigious awards.
The selection process for IBLA is a thorough and collaborative effort involving the entire editorial team at CNBC TV18. In the initial phase, the editorial team builds a long list of nominees. In Phase 2, editors take charge of the nomination process for each category and conduct due diligence on each nominee through extensive research. Once this process is complete, a dossier is created and sent to the esteemed jury members for deliberation before their official meeting.
The culmination of the selection process for IBLA is a jury meeting chaired by Kumar Mangalam Birla. During this meeting, the esteemed jury evaluates the nominees and ultimately selects one winner in each of the 13 categories. This final stage ensures that only the most deserving individuals are recognised for their contributions to the Indian business landscape.
Alongside the selection process, the IBLA jury meet also included a high-powered panel discussion. In the most recent event, the panel discussion focused on the topic of 'India @2023: Resilience to Resurgence.' This thoughtful and engaging discussion brought together some of the brightest minds in the Indian business community to share their insights and discuss the future of the Indian economy.
