India's Best CEOs

The BT-PwC rankings honour the best business leaders of India Inc

Running a company, be it a behemoth, a large one, a mid-sized one or a small one, is no easy task. Corporate leaders bear the weight of shareholders’ expectations, are responsible for employees’ well-being, and also have to ensure that the business is profitable, while adhering to all the laws of the land, among other responsibilities.

Businesses in India have faced torrid times the past few years—a slowing economy, muted demand, rising costs of crude oil and raw materials, and to top it all, the Covid-19 pandemic. The circumstances have been difficult, but they have also served to highlight the performance of certain business leaders who have made the most of these trying times. Sifting through the quantitative and qualitative aspects of their performance, Business Today, along with knowledge partner PwC India, shortlisted those who are at the top of their game, and a high-profile jury picked the winners.

In the pages that follow, read about the winners of the 10th edition of the BT-PwC India’s Best CEOs rankings, and how they made it.
