Every large business is digitally transforming – it is a compulsion to stay in business. Quite a few of them go on to win prestigious awards for doing just this.

SKOCH Award, though taking your professional excellence as a starting point, is about going beyond the call of business to serve the country – we call this enlightened self-interest.

If India must become a developed country by 2047, most of the heavy lifting will have to be done by big business. Their Digital Transformation must therefore reach the population scale to touch every Indian. Make every Indian their customer to grow the business. This then will create a consumption and job generation juggernaut.

Some businesses share this vision, but only a few are doing something about it as a strategic plan. It is these businesses that would be worthy of a SKOCH Award.

As a part of the award process, the businesses and their best practices get documented. Their total economic impact on India is understood. Their story is widely shared for others to take note of and learn from.
