CHANGE MAKERS OF MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

The unprecedented challenges that the pandemic has thrown to us taught us new things in life as it's been an epic test of character and determination. In the business world, it's been an ultimate leadership test for CEOs, MDs, and decision-makers who had to take care of their people and demonstrate empathy and cope with sudden lockdown, restart businesses in an uncertain environment, and maintain business continuity and growth.

As we turn 11 this year - when the business world is still at the crossroads of Covid 19 pandemic and technological disruptions - we speak to top business leaders from across the subsectors of the manufacturing industry to understand how they are making a positive difference in people's lives with their leadership while spearheading innovation and growth within their companies and the industry.

We have not done any rankings here, nor have we selected the companies or placed them on the basis of any particular matrix. These leaders represent different sub-sectors, hold different positions and responsibilities, but share a common vision of putting their organizations and the industry on a path of sustainable growth.
