The awards were given in the respective categories such as Financial services, Other Services, Industrial markets, Consumer markets, Infrastructure and Information-communication-entertainment.

Some of the top industrialists were present to give away these awards on the profiles of Mr. Aniruddh Dhoot, Director Videocon Group, Neeraj Roy, MD Virtual Marketing, Hungama.com, Harish Bijoor, Brand-expert & CEO, Harish Bijoor Consults Inc, Dr. Sujaya Bannerjee, Chief Learning Officer, Essar Group, Mr. Sanjay Muthal, President, Nicholas Piramal, film marketing professional Mr. Vikramjit Roy, and CEO of Mahindra SSG Captian Raghu Raman.

Commenting on this update, Anirudh Dhoot, Videocon Director and the chief guest said “A smart workplace is not just a question of environment. It is the overall efficiency and recognition that a firm gains, which promotes core values and ethical standards. This, in turn, forges a strong link between people and performance.’’
