“It was gratifying to see several of last year’s participants make it to the list again, displaying their excellent management, resilience, and innovation in a dynamic business environment. Participants engaging in this programme undergo a thorough and independent evaluation, where they are assessed based on a uniform framework focusing on four key aspects of business excellence: strategy, capabilities and innovation, culture and commitment, and governance and financials. The Best Managed Companies programme significantly contributes to the advancement of private businesses, thereby securing a more promising future for stakeholders,” said Dhiraj Bhandary, Partner, Deloitte India.

After a rigorous evaluation process, the winners are announced, who help set the bar for future years and inspire potential “Best Managed” companies to strive for the achievement. The Best Managed Companies programme has brought value to almost 1,300 private companies across 45+ countries.
