Vote for your favourite CEO

CEOs hailing from India often become role models for budding entrepreneurs in the entire nation. There are times when the social media accounts of these popular personalities have a higher fan following than Bollywood celebrities. The reason is quite simple. CEOs have a high level of responsibilities in company operations. Every strategy executed by an organization is often the brainchild of its CEO. Whether one looks at Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn or Pepsi’s growth, CEOs have played a critical role in these developments. A CEO becomes the company’s face – both in good as well as bad times. How about a contest that shortlists India’s most loved CEO? Excited? Hang on.

#IndiasMostLovedCEO contest has been recently launched with the objective of felicitating India’s most popular CEO, CEO loved by majority of us. The best part is that anyone can nominate their favourite CEO for the contest or if the personality is already on the list, you can vote for them. The participants of #IndiasMostLovedCEO contests also become winners. How? Well, all participants stand a chance to be featured on the contest website and win exciting prizes such as Moto G mobile phones and Flipkart vouchers. Is it not exciting? Well, I am all set to nominate my favourite entry for the contest. Are you?

Hurry up, and cast your vote. It is your chance to see the most respected and deserving face in the list of India’s most loved CEOs. Whether the person executed a great turnaround strategy or made India shining on the world map, you can make a wise choice and let the entire nation talk about it. So what are you waiting for? Log on to http://indiasmostlovedceo.com/ and nominate your favourite CEO. It is the most exciting contest starring business decision makers. Get going!

Who is India’s Most Loved CEO?

CEOs are often in limelight due to the criticality of their role in company operations. Some acts of CEOs are well appreciated, while others are criticized when not in tandem with company’s strategies. But can a CEO be truly loved by one and all in India? Can such a personality exist who is loved by his team members as well as by the entire nation?

The stories of most popular CEOs include names such as Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, RBI’s Raghuram Rajan and Pepsi’s Arundhati Roy. People have a great fan following for personalities such as Mukesh Ambani and Lakshmi Mittal as well. It is time to choose your favourite CEO and award them for their accomplishments.

#IndiasMostLovedCEO contest has been launched in order to find out India’s most loved CEO. The rules of the contest are quite simple. You need to nominate your favourite CEO for the contest or vote for your favourite CEO. The game will turn quite exciting when CEOs from all over India will compete with each other for the title of #IndiasMostLovedCEO.

And, that’s not all! All participants get a chance to be featured on the website and win exciting merchandize such as Moto G mobile phones and Flipkart vouchers! As of now there are 30 participant CEOs in the contest, but don’t worry if you can’t spot your favourite CEO on the list. Nominate him or her and brag about it in social media. Who knows, your CEO may become India’s most loved CEO this year!

While the title of India’s most loved CEO might be conferred upon the most popular personality, all the nominated CEOs in the list are winners already. You may judge a CEO on the basis of their company results or their strategies, but if they are successful, they are the best.
