Call For Nominations: Recognising Future Masters Of The Indian Auto Sector
The Indian auto sector, among the other legacy industries, is one of the fastest sectors to bounce back post the pandemic. In terms of global rankings in manufacturing output, the Indian Automotive industry is second largest in two-wheelers, seventh largest in commercial vehicles, sixth largest in passenger vehicles and the largest in tractors. The contribution to this has come from new and young players entering the sector. Celebrating this transformation, BW Auto World, the auto community of the 43-year-old BW Businessworld group, brings together industry captains and top decision-makers to honour the new generation of trailblazers.
BW Auto World 40 Under 40 Awards is a leading event in the Automotive Industry. It is a quest for the most influential leaders of the year from the Indian Auto Sector. Organised in association with BW Businessworld, it is a hunt for the Top 40 brightest young entrepreneurs, innovators, manufacturers, disruptors and game-changers in the Automotive Sector under the age of 40.
BW Auto World’s 40under40 list aims to recognise and celebrate young achievers who have not just revolutionised the overall growth of their company demonstrably in the last 12 months but are also thoroughly cognisant of the needs and preferences of today’s changing auto sector. Their efforts, energy, and enthusiasm are widely endorsed by industry experts and are now on their way to making it to the top auto young leaders in the country.
Celebrating the most definitive gathering of change-makers and innovators, we invite you to be part of the 2nd edition of BW Auto World 40 under 40 list. We are looking for Chiefs, VPs, Directors, Heads and Managers, Change-makers, Founders, Funders, and Corporate Leaders from the Indian Automotive & Component Manufacturing sectors.
