About the program
The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ (EOY) Awards is one of the world’s most prestigious business award programs, celebrating the entrepreneurial spirit of visionaries who are building bold, innovative, and transformative businesses.
This year, we celebrate the Shapers of India’s Future—trailblazers who are redefining industries, generating employment, and driving inclusive economic growth. Launched in the US in 1986 and introduced in India in 1999, the program has since recognized over 360 outstanding entrepreneurs across various categories.
At its core, the EOY program is about more than the business success. It honours the journeys of entrepreneurs who turn bold ideas into global enterprises, navigate challenges with resilience, and inspire the next generation of leaders.
In the past EOY India winners included iconic names such as Mukesh Ambani, Adi Godrej, Kumar Mangalam Birla, Sunil Bharti Mittal, Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Uday Kotak, and Narayana Murthy, Falguni Nayar, Sajjan Jindal, Vellayan Subbiah, among others—each a testament to entrepreneurial excellence.
Nominate an inspiring entrepreneur and join us in celebrating the shapers of India’s future in the 27th edition of the EOY India Awards.
