BT MindRush was started in 2013. Since then, the event has established itself as one of the most sought-after events in the Indian corporate calendar. The winners were based on BT-PwC India's Best CEOs ranking. The study used a robust methodology to assess the top 500 most valuable companies in the country by market capitalisation for growth in revenues, profits, EBITDA and total shareholder returns. After applying further stringent filters, the names of top 3 CEOs in each group - overall and sector-wise - were placed before the jury, who chose the final winners.
This year’s jury led by Uday Kotak, Founder & Chairman, Kotak Mahindra Bank, comprised Rajat Dhawan, Senior Managing Partner, McKinsey & Co in India, Ramnath Krishnan, MD, ICRA, R.M. Vishakha, MD & CEO, IndiaFirst Life Insurance and Amit Tandon, Founder & MD, Institutional Investor Advisory Services.
