are a tribute to the enduring legacy of the late Dr. Brijmohan Lall Munjal, founder of the Hero
Group. They recognize organizations that invest in people and reward companies that believe in continuous improvement and innovation. For the 2024 edition, hundreds of organizations
across sectors went through a rigorous four-stage screening process managed by Grant
Thornton Bharat.

The six winners were eventually picked by an independent jury comprising of Sanjay Nayar,
Founder and Chairman, Sorin Investment Fund, Gopal Srinivasan, Chairman & Managing

Announcing this year's awards,
Mr. Sunil Kant Munjal, Chairman of Hero Enterprise , stated,
“People are the only assets that appreciate as time goes on, and they need to be placed at the
centre of
every model, whether it is for a business enterprise or a social venture.”

The Hon'ble Minister of Commerce and Industry also unveiled the Braille (Hindi) edition of
The
Making of Hero
over the course of the evening.
The Making of Hero
is the inspiring story of four
Munjal brothers who, despite limited education and resources, revolutionized the two-wheeler
industry. The Braille edition - produced by Raised Lines Foundation, an imprint of HarperCollins
Publishers - has been launched to address the shortage of braille content in India which makes it
difficult for the blind and visually impaired to learn more about leadership, management,
business practices and many other life lessons. This edition is being provided to various
organizations and libraries across India free of cost so that visually impaired students and
professionals can access them.

Delivering his keynote address
Shri Piyush Goyal
remarked, "Perseverance, passion and
ambition can help people and companies reach great heights. When more people with fire in
their bellies begin to fulfil their aspirations, it will redefine India's growth story in the years to
come. It is equally important as well for differently abled people to realise their dreams and feel that they are contributing to the growth of the nation; for this to happen meaningfully, a
change in mindset is vital, and our Prime Minister's Divyangjan Swavalamban Yojana is a vital
initiative in this direction.''

In his address as the Guest of Honor,
Mr. Amitabh Kant , India's G20 Sherpa, added:“Talent
drives investment, which in turn drives growth. Without that, no company can prosper. These
awards are the human symbols of India's hard power.”

The evening's proceedings also featured an insightful discussion on the“ The Business of Doing
Good ” that featured an esteemed panel of Mr. Jayen Mehta, MD - Amul; Ms. Rajarshi Gupta,
MD - ONGC Videsh Ltd; Ms. Mugdha Sinha, Director General of Tourism, Government of India;
and Mr. Vineet Rai, Founder & Chairman of Aavishkaar Group.
