India aims to become a digital powerhouse, targeting a $1 trillion

digital economy by 2030. Enterprise technology serves as the
backbone of India's digital transformation, driving innovation
and growth. On this path, innovative digital leaders play a pivotal
role in elevating India to new heights. It's time to acknowledge the
exemplary initiatives of these leaders who stand at the forefront of
digital excellence.

2
 Our goal is to shine a spotlight on the exceptional accomplishments of these
digital leaders and share their outstanding practices and use cases with the world.
Consequently, after a decade of covering technology advancements, we are introducing
specific award categories tailored to the enterprise tech community as we aspire to serve
as a driving force behind the recognition of top digital excellence.
These awards will undergo a meticulous evaluation process because we firmly believe
that recognition should be a product of genuine merit rather than mere distribution.

 The Economic Times CIO Awards for Enterprise IT Excellence 2024 will bring together
the crème de la crème of India's CIO community, characterized by a forward-looking
global outlook.
These awards will recognize and felicitate excellence in digital business models,
providing a spectacular vision and culmination of India's achievements in business and
digital transformation.
By gathering India's top IT leaders under one roof, the awards will serve as the perfect
gene pool for new ideas and strategies.
