Unveiling Excellence: Grand Reveal of the Top 30 Talent Leaders June 13th, Bengaluru
Talent Leaders are essential in today's ever-evolving business landscape. They drive engagement and ensure that talent is both selected for its skills and continuously developed through effective re-skilling and up-skilling programs. To honor these influential figures, we launched the Forbes India and Indeed Top 30 Talent Leaders initiative. After the success of our inaugural season, we are thrilled to present the top talent leaders for 2024. This initiative celebrates those who are actively driving change, shaping the future of work, and making a significant impact in talent acquisition and management.
This year, we received an overwhelming response with an impressive 450 entries from across India! Each submission was meticulously reviewed by our esteemed process partner, Ernst & Young, and narrowed down to the top 50 entries. These top 50 were then advanced for final scrutiny, where our distinguished jury members conducted thorough individual assessments.
Join us as we unveil the Top 30 Talent Leaders at our grand event on June 13th in Bengaluru.
It's going to be an unforgettable evening celebrating excellence and innovation in Talent Leadership!
