NDTV Profit Business Leadership Awards have been instituted to award organisational excellence. These awards not only honour the men and women who stand at the forefront of Indian Business and Industry, but also the talented people they lead.

The awards promise to acknowledge the best, the brightest and the most dynamic of Indian organisations that have emerged leaders in their respective verticals and are leading India in her journey toward being an economic superpower.

The first edition of the NDTV Profit Business Leadership Awards was held on July 28, 2006 in New Delhi and was presided over by the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh and attended by the top brass of corporate India across the country.

This year, we salute the business leaders whose relentless pursuit of excellence has fuelled India’s journey to the forefront of the world economy. The award ceremony was held on October 6, 2008 at The Taj Palace in New Delhi where Finance Minister P Chidambaram graced the occasion with his presence as the Chief Guest.
