About The Awards

The NDTV HR Excellence Awards are dedicated to recognising organisations and leaders who are redefining the modern workplace. Backed by NDTV’s legacy of truth, credibility, and impactful storytelling, the awards spotlight HRs who are shaping future-ready people practices.

The Awards honour those who are leading this transformation with integrity, vision, and measurable impact. Designed as a national platform for constructive dialogue, industry recognition, and cross-sector collaboration, the initiative brings together CXOs, CHROs, policymakers, thought leaders, innovators, HR practitioners, and emerging workforce voices.
