BT Mindrush 2023: Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia honours India’s best CEOs

Aroon Purie, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief, India Today Group gives his special address at the Business Today Mindrush 2023. 

Union Minister for Civil Aviation and Steel Jyotiraditya Scindia honours winners of the BT-PwC India’s Best CEO ranking.  Business Today has introduced a new award, Business Icon of the Year, where groups with a combined total income of over Rs 50,000 crore were considered. This is in addition to the prestigious Lifetime Achievement award. BT MindRush was started in 2013. Since then, the event has established itself as one of the most sought-after events in the Indian corporate calendar. 

The winners were based on BT-PwC India's Best CEOs ranking. The study used a robust methodology to assess the top 500 most valuable companies in the country by market capitalisation for growth in revenues, profits, EBITDA and total shareholder returns. After applying further stringent filters, the names of top 3 CEOs in each group - overall and sector-wise - were placed before the jury, who chose the final winners.   This year’s jury comprised Ajay Piramal, Chairman, Piramal Group (Jury Chair); Cyril Shroff, Managing Partner, Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas; Milind Sarwate, Founder & CEO, Increate Value Advisors; Mehul Pandya, MD & CEO, CARE Ratings; Mathew Cyriac, Executive Chairman, Florintree Advisors; and J.N. Gupta, Co-founder & MD, Stakeholders Empowerment Services.
