All the 17 finalists together have a combined revenue of Rs 100,000 crore and are generating employment for more than 115,000 people in India and globally. The Finalists have also reported significantly stronger financial performance in times when global and domestic economic growth rates have been tepid, EY said.

The criterion upon which the nominees were judged includes their entrepreneurial spirit, recent financial performance, strategic direction, product or service innovation, company leadership including personal integrity and risk-taking, corporate governance, values, and involvement with the community.
The winners will be felicitated on February 19th in New Delhi. The winner of the Entrepreneur of the Year Award from India will represent the country at the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year Award (WEOY) in Monte Carlo from June 4-7, 2020.
“Our 2019 finalists have shown a clear strategy, steadfast focus on staying relevant for their customers and a commitment to creating long-term impact. Their commitment to high governance standards as also to driving innovation in not only customer acquisition and experience but also in achieving operational excellence, differentiate them in their respective sectors,” said Rajiv Memani, Chairman, EY India.
