“Being awarded the Best CIO for the second consecutive edition is a very humbling experience. IT innovation to ensure that IT investments deliver high value consistently to the business especially in today’s times of a very demanding business landscape is the key differentiating factor of a successful IT team. My colleagues at Hero and my family have played a key role in helping me achieving this title once again and my sincerest thanks to all of them. I am also grateful to the CIO Association of India and Dell for this initiative.”

"It is a great honor to be chosen by your peers. They fully understand the trials and tribulations of being a CIO and can be truly appreciative of your achievements. Your vote is invaluable in recognizing the best among the best and serves as encouragement for the future."

‘’Thank you for selecting me for the second time with ‘India’s Best CIOs’ Top 50 awards. Indeed, it is an honor and privilege to be part of the TOP 50. I think it is a very unique and innovative idea to honor and recognise the CIOs through peer voting. This will ensure more and more CIOs come forward to share their knowledge and experience, which will not only benefit CIOs at large but will also help recognize the contribution made by their peers.”

“ ‘India's Best CIOs’ is a great platform created for rewarding and recognising CIOs. It has been an excellent and outstanding event. Very well organized; gratitude of thanks!”

“The uniqueness of this Best 50 CIOs program is the concept of peer voting, which lends so much credibility and value to the CIOs value to the selection process. CIOs like me cherish this recognition and feel deeply honored to be selected to this elite group.  I must thank you and the CAI team for institutionalising this process and wish you continued success in the years to come.”

"In a dynamic environment like India, the CIOs need to keep up with evolving trends to ensure their organisations continue to grow. At Dell, we recognize that this is a huge responsibility and understand the complexities they face when balancing budgets with business imperatives. India's Best CIO, is a great developing platform which aims to recognize India's top CIOs who have shown exemplary performance evaluated by their peers. I would like to congratulate the winners and wish them the very best in their roles as leaders of the industry."

"There is no greater recognition for a CIO than a peer CIO recognition. it is an anonymous vote, which spells secret admiration from the voting CIO for a fellow CIO whose achievements are truly praiseworthy. CIOs are technologists and business leaders who do not hold back their respect for a CIO who has delivered business success through the successful deployment of technology. India's Best CIOs will be truly worthy of the recognition and will work doubly hard in the future to sustain their membership of this hallowed club."

“It is indeed an honor to be selected for the 'India's Best CIO' award 2015.  In today’s competitive business environment IT plays a vital role in delivering business value. It is imperative for IT to partner with business and go beyond just serving them as an internal customer. I am grateful to have found such an opportunity within Syngene to ensure a cohesive partnership between the business and the IT department. This award is dedicated to my entire IT team and business colleagues who stood by me at all the times.”

“I am happy to be chosen as Second best CIO of the country and very happy that the recognition has come from the CIO community. I have pleasure in dedicating this award to my IT team and ever demanding customers.”

“It was really a nice event and really different from typical events and award ceremonies which we attend regularly. I would rate this event pretty high. A big appreciation for you and your team!!”
