The technology ecosystem has been in a state of flux, owing to the many uncertainties in the global political scenario, the accelerated adoption of digital technologies, and the changing competitor landscape. Despite these factors, global centers in India have evolved and matured. This remarkable growth was never more pronounced than in 2018. We were awed by the achievements of individuals and global technology centers, and the quality of nominations we received for our annual Zinnov Awards.
Over the past nine years, Zinnov has tracked the incredible evolution of the technology ecosystem in India. Although Zinnov Awards began as an attempt to encourage a nascent, evolving ecosystem, today it has become a benchmark for the best in technology. Zinnov Awards, with its eminent panel of jury members, curation of new categories every year in line with changing trends, and rigorous awards process, has become an institution worthy of celebrating remarkable individuals and companies that have taken the Indian technology ecosystem to greater heights.
In the New Year, I hope we can look forward to exceptional growth, extraordinary individuals and companies, and a whole lot more to celebrate.
