Celebrating the Builders of a Better India

Entrepreneurs create opportunities and foster innovation. At EY, we take immense pride in acknowledging and honoring the remarkable contributions of these visionary individuals through our prestigious EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™(EOY) India Awards program. We recognized artistic entrepreneurs who have continuously repainted and reframed our economy from innovative new perspectives and created opportunities that have a lasting impact on communities, contributing to a better working world.

The EOY Awards program is widely regarded as the world's first truly global business award, highlighting the top entrepreneurial talent. The first EOY program took place in 1986 in the US. In India, the EOY program was formally launched in 1999 in Mumbai. This year marked a significant milestone for India as we celebrated 25 years of recognizing outstanding entrepreneurs. The India EOY program has celebrated over 350 outstanding entrepreneurs.

Every year, an independent jury comprised of some of India's most prominent business leaders selects the program's finalists and winners. The EOY title winners include some of the most influential and recognizable names across the globe — Vellayan Subbiah, Sajjan Jindal, Falguni Nayar, Harsh C. Mariwala, Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Siddhartha Lal, Sanjiv Bajaj, Vivek Chaand Sehgal, NR Narayana Murthy, Uday Kotak, Adi Godrej, Sunil Bharti Mittal, Kumar Mangalam Birla, Anand Mahindra, Mukesh Ambani, Anil Agarwal, and Dilip Shanghvi, to name a few.

We extend our admiration to the exceptional achievements of these visionary leaders who have truly emerged as the ‘Builders of a Better India’.
