One of organizers Mr. Ajay Bohora said,
“Almost every organization needs to learn, unlearn, reinvent and innovate. Unrelated and seemingly very different industries have been opening up sets of opportunities and threats to almost all organizations. It’s therefore, inevitable for individuals and corporates to interact with and learn from people and organization’s which appear to be unrelated. With that context, the Global Corporate Awards is very proud to present this global platform where achievers from diverse industries get recognized. They get opportunities to network across industries.”
