HOW WE DID IT

The methodology behind the BT-PWC India's Best CEOs ranking

- Rahul Oberoi

THE 12TH EDITION of the annual ranking of India's Best CEOs is here. Like last year, BT teamed up with consulting firm PwC to devise a methodology for the study, which takes into account both quantitative performance as well as qualitative aspects. We started with the quantitative exercise to shortlist the Top 3 performers in each segment. But before that, a series of checks and filters were applied to our universe of the BT500 ranking of India's most valuable companies. Only those with revenues of over ₹1,000 crore were considered, and data was sourced from ACE Equity. The study period was FY21, FY22 and FY23. Firms whose latest audited financial year results were not available were dropped, as were those that posted a net loss in any of these fiscals. Firms that were listed during the study period were not considered, and banks and NBFCs, too, were not considered.
