The Spotlight Awaits: Indian Family Business Awards 2023 and Nominations
Indian family businesses, some tracing their lineage back to pre-independence India, have consistently propelled economic growth and stability, serving as the cornerstone for many of India's corporate behemoths, including the illustrious Tata Group and the vibrant Reliance Industries.
Family businesses are alchemists, seamlessly fusing traditional values with contemporary strategies, thereby fortifying their resilience in the face of economic instability. As evidenced by the PWC Family Business Survey 2021, a staggering 70% of family businesses weathered the storms of 2020 sans the need for additional capital, with an overwhelming 88% anticipating growth in 2022. This tenacity was palpable during the crucible of the COVID-19 pandemic, where family businesses not only sustained employment levels but also steadfastly bolstered community welfare initiatives.
To vie for the coveted Indian Family Business Awards, enterprises must be domiciled in India and boast a decade-long operational legacy, save for nascent ventures that have thrived for a minimum of five years, with familial ownership or management control being paramount.
The awards traverse three revenue strata—Super (annual revenues under 1,000 crores), Mega (annual revenues between 1,000 and 5,000 crores), and Giga (annual revenues surpassing 5,000 crores)—ensuring a tapestry of inclusivity that lauds entities across the spectrum, from burgeoning startups to established conglomerates.
The award categories serve as an ode to excellence, spanning various facets of business operations, including - Best Family Business, Best Governance, Most Innovative, Disruptive & Transformational Family Business, Best Family Business Led by a Woman, Best Start-up and Philanthropy.

The awards served as a poignant testament to the burgeoning prominence of women in leadership roles, with Fratelli Wines and JK Lakshmi Cement basking in the limelight for their female-led stewardship.
