The events of the last few years have come together to create something of a perfect storm that will test even the most skilled of industry leaders helming the organisational ship. Fast-changing macroeconomic environments, unprecedented supply chain pressures, geopolitical pressures, and the changing nature of the workplace as well as our relationship with it are just some of the distinct forces reshaping our understanding of industry and society.
Even as these events roil the world around us, a clutch of elite leaders seem to naturally inspire confidence, loyalty, and hard work, while identifying a way forward for their flock.

Speaking at the event, Rajesh Khubchandani, Co-Founder and CEO, Team Marksmen Network, said, “It goes without saying that charting a course to a higher growth trajectory needs a skilled captain at the helm. One who ensures the tailwinds in play are fully leveraged, while course correcting or adjusting for environmental anomalies.
Modern leaders have a critical role to play in co-creating meaningful value for all stakeholders and society, creating a win-win situation that ensures growth is sustainable and inclusive, leaving no one behind. The many hats a modern leader must wear - that of a visionary, a growth architect, a coach, or a catalyst - make them a critical driving force for good. Those that we recognised as Business Icons of India 2023 fully epitomise this, and we salute their can-do spirit, hoping it serves as inspiration for others to rise and deliver for the greater good.”
