CIO Power List provides the perfect setting for India’s mightiest CIOs and undeniably the most powerful personalities of the year. It’s a recognition for CIOs who have created boundless possibilities and scale by using information communication and technology with a genuine obsession to deliver superlative performance.
“In an uneven and often unequal marketplace with demographics like India, the winners of CIO Power List 2016 have either set the benchmark for standards and/or hold influence in their industry on account of their forward thinking, innovative, business-minded personalities. CIO Power List 2016 looks at the contribution each has made to their business and the power of influence they hold in their respective markets. We congratulate all the winners and look forward to an exciting year ahead with these IT leaders at the helm!” says Anoop Mathur, President, CORE Media.
On May 12 and 13, CORE Media honoured India’s most influential and dynamic IT leaders shaping business at CIO Power List 2016. The gala two-day event was hosted at Lonavala’s iconic Fariyas Hotel, with KPMG as the Knowledge Partner. The selection was based on the CIO’s online reputation, business publications and technology magazines, combined with data on awards, honours and recognitions won, achievements till date, a random sampling of social media engagements, and a nation-wide survey of peers in the CIO community. And finally there were inputs from the CIO himself/herself on their key moments in the last 12 months.
Harish Chandra, GM – Information Technology, Sarovar Hotels & Resorts, was awarded as Travel & Hospitality Icon.
“KPMG is the knowledge partner for CIO Power List. I find this a novel concept and a very exciting way to engage with CIOs and the larger community. CIO Power List is an interesting proposition that recognises CIOs who are the leaders in their field. I wish all the CIO Power List winners all the best,” says Kunal Pande, partner, KPMG.
