The awards ceremony was preceded over by Mr. Salman Khurshid, Hon. Union Minister of Corporate Affairs.
The CNBC-TV18 ?CFO Awards 2010‘ seek to recognize the wizards of the financial world who have not only demonstrated excellence through their sheer knowledge, vision and acumen but also driven their businesses on a global platform. This is the league of individuals who have managed India‘s global aspirations with such precision that they are now India?s ambassadors to the world.
The theme of the awards this year is ?celebrating the men and women behind India‘s resilience?. The awards honoured the spirit of achievement by recognizing the contribution of such individuals to Brand INDIA. These individuals have made India a force to reckon with by capitalizing on opportunities and identifying growth options which has helped sustain the financial slowdown. They have also demonstrated the skills of being the real champions of India?s fast evolving CFO community by striving hard to make India a global business hub. These global financial leaders through their efficiency and excellence in financial deliverables have laid the foundation of emerging India, transforming it to become the next superpower.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Salman Khurshid, Hon. Union Minister of Corporate Affairs said, ?It is certainly a great pleasure to be here. I think CNBC-TV18?s CFO Awards is one of the finest awards. Though I spend more time with the CEOs and the Chairpersons of the companies, I do know that the real energy and the real strength comes from the CFOs. And therefore to be amongst the ones who really matter behind the smiles of the people. It really is a great privilege and a great honor to be with you.?
Further he added, ?I believe that the rooted solid support that will come to structured growth will come from the CFOs of our country. For me this is indeed a very important event and I hope you will go from strength to strength in taking these events and making them one day an event of a global reach. Congratulations to all the winners!?
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Udayan Mukherjee, Managing Editor, CNBC-TV18 said, ?India has evolved as a global financial hub only due to the persistence of certain expertised individuals who have build empires that are inherently strong, resilient in face of crisis and nimble enough to move and capitalize opportunities. These wizards and their companies have not only contributed to India?s strong GDP numbers but also led the massive bull rally. We, at CNBC-TV18, feel proud and honoured to award such eminent financial experts.?
