We are thrilled to announce that Zinnov Awards is back for its 14th edition, focused exclusively on GCCs. We have emerged stronger for having been tested in the COVID-19 crucible, ready to take on newer challenges and disruptions. But we are facing them with our heads held high, with pioneering organizations and leaders leading the way forward.
To recognize and celebrate these visionaries and change makers, this edition will focus on honoring the Titans in Tech – the India centers and individual role models who have created an impact on a global scale. Along with our marquee categories, we have introduced newer categories in the 2023 edition, to recognize and applaud those India centers that have successfully braved disruptions and influenced the vision and charter for the global organization to become trailblazers in the Indian ecosystem.
We welcome your participation and look forward to celebrating the exceptional achievements of our industry's finest.
Gear up and put your best nomination forward!
