Foreword

“A successful entrepreneur has a direct positive impact on the society as they generate more economic opportunities”

Confederation of Indian Industry conceptualized a new line of awards namely “Tamil Nadu Emerging Entrepreneurs Awards” in association with The Hindu Business Line,

To recognize and applaud individuals who have shown great entrepreneurial abilities and have potential to make it to the big league in the years to come

To celebrate the innovation, strategic thinking and visionary leadership , we aims to emulate, create and foster the spirit of entrepreneurship by promoting and showcasing the growth trajectories of successful entrepreneurs in Tamil Nadu

Every year, we propose to salute the successful businesspersons of Tamil Nadu whose unswerving pursuit of excellence has fuelled Tamil Nadu’s journey to the forefront of the Indian Economy.
