Nomination Process

The nomination and selection process for the “25 Under 25” initiative is meticulously designed to identify and honor the most promising young talents across India. It begins with an open call for nominations, inviting the public, educational institutions, and organizations to propose candidates who exemplify innovation, leadership, and impact in their respective fields. Each nomination is then rigorously reviewed by a panel of experts, including industry leaders, academicians, and previous award recipients, ensuring a diverse and comprehensive evaluation. This panel assesses each candidate against strict criteria, including innovation, societal impact, sustainability, and leadership. The process culminates in the selection of the top 25 individuals, who are then featured as the year’s most influential and inspiring young achievers, ready to lead and shape the future of their sectors and the country at large.
