Commenting on the announcement of this award property,  Manish Maheshwari, CEO, Network18 Digital, said “As India’s economy takes bold strides, marching confidently into a new world, so does its industries and services across the board. Crucial, however, to the overall health of the economy is its financial sector, which contributes over 6% to the GDP. The financial sector forms the economy’s backbone when it comes to creating wealth for not only the country, but also its citizens. Through the Wealth Creator Awards, we applaud the world of finance and the people who make India the most financially stable economy to invest in. We strongly believe that strong financial fundamental is critical for a diverse economy like India to grow into a superpower.”

Commenting on the announcement of the Wealth Creator Awards, Gautam Shelar, Business Head, Moneycontrol, said: “With a market of over 1.2 billion people, the opportunities of India as a great investment destination and a financial powerhouse isn’t lost on anyone in the biggest global platforms. The respect it got in the recently-concluded 49th Davos Summit is just a glimpse of the kind of authority that India as an economic superpower is likely to hold in the future. Creating that powerhouse with a rock solid base will mostly be thanks to its sound fiscal policies and financial structures. It is with that in mind, Moneycontrol, through the Wealth Creator Awards, aims to felicitate these pole bearers of financial services that have often set global best standards, and forced the biggest and the strongest around the world to sit up and take note of India.
