The scintillating ceremony witnessed some of the most distinguished names from India Inc. take centre stage at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), Mumbai.

An extension of CNBC's Asia Business Leader Awards, 'India Business Leader Awards 2012' is the definitive awards celebrating the spirit of excellence in business leadership in India. These awards have been established to honor stellar individuals and organizations that have epitomized corporate excellence and have taken Indian Business to a new echelon of fame. 'India Business Leader Awards 2012', CNBC-TV18's flagship awards for leadership in business and the economy, recognized the leaders who ingenuously piloted their organizations in these times of economic turmoil.

 

Keeping in mind the scams and corruption allegations against several Indian corporations in the past year, IBLA 2012 emphasized on 'integrity' as one of the key criterions for short listing the frontrunners. The CNBC-TV18 editorial panel and research teams conducted a 3-phase methodology, to recognize the companies with excellent business leaders at their helm.

The jury, along with research partners - The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business (GSB), Development Dimensions International (DDI) and The CNBC-TV18 Research Team assessed candidates through a unique judging process based on a combination of criteria, including financial performance, leadership, creativity, innovation and social responsibility. Candidates were also evaluated on their ability to create short-term advantage, long-term value, a competitive edge, and the demonstration of leadership in the business community.  CNBC-TV18 also conducted a national poll for the awards, with a special group of business leaders, a peer group and the general public.

The awards witnessed luminaries from the business fraternity like  Yogesh Chander Deveshwar, Chairman, ITC Limited,  N Chandrasekaran, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, TCS,  Sunil Bharti Mittal, Founder, Chairman and Group CEO of Bharti Enterprises,  Harish Salve, Solicitor General of India (1999-2002),  Pratip Chaudhuri, Chairman, State Bank of India,  Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group,  Sudhir Valia, Director at Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, Roopa Kudva, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of CRISIL and Region Head, South Asia, Standard & Poor's, and  Dilip Shanghvi, Founder and Managing Director, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited.

Speaking about the awards,  Udayan Mukherjee, Managing Editor, CNBC-TV18 said, “Currently in its 8th year, CNBC TV18's IBLA is now one of the most coveted awards for the business leaders of India.
