40 Under Forty: Ethics, innovation tilt scales for winners
jury gathered to deliberate on the young business leaders vying for a highly coveted spot on The Economic Times 40 Under Forty scroll.
Thirteen elite jurors — women and men who have weathered many economic cycles and built enduring businesses — gathered in the Jaipur Suite at The Oberoi in Mumbai last week, tasked with recognising the most brilliant young leaders of corporate India. The 10th edition of 40 Under Forty was adjudicated by a power-packed panel led by Reliance Foundation’s Nita Ambani.

The jury seemed overwhelmed initially by the number of nominees they had to pick from. However, as they got into the groove of shortlisting, they moved efficiently through the numbers with Kotak Mahindra Bank founder Uday Kotak, former banker Kalpana Morparia and Hindustan Unilever’s Rohit Jawa cheerleading the jury.
Once they narrowed down the selection, the jury settled in for an insightful debate with plenty of time in hand.
