Mumbai, June 2025 – An initiative by ET Edge, the ET NOW Most Innovative Organisations 2025—guided by the visionary theme ‘Where Curiosity Sparks Ideas, Ideas Ignite Innovation, and Innovation Builds Legacy’, is set to take place on 26th June 2025 at Sahara Star, Mumbai. This initiative celebrates India’s most forward-thinking, emotionally intelligent, and future-ready brands—those reshaping industries and rewriting the rules of progress.
At a time when India is not just participating in the global innovation race but leading it with purpose, this summit is more than an event—it is a movement. It brings together the past, present, and future of Indian enterprise under one roof: from iconic legacy giants modernising operations, to daring startups solving new-age problems, and futuristic thinkers designing what doesn’t yet exist.
India’s Innovation Leap
Ranked #40 on the Global Innovation Index 2024 (up from #81 in 2015), India has emerged as a regional innovation powerhouse. With transformative government initiatives like Startup India, Digital India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and Make in India, the country is experiencing a profound shift—from jugaad to moonshot, from reactive strategies to proactive reinvention.
This cultural evolution—where innovation is no longer confined to labs or departments but deeply embedded into the DNA of organisations—is what the Most Innovative Organisations 2025 seeks to recognise.
Recognising the Visionaries
The event will witness the unveiling of the Most Innovative Organisations Coffee Table Book 2025—a premium edition that chronicles the journeys of brands that dare to imagine and build differently. It is a tribute to organisations that drive real transformation through technology, design thinking, empathy, and ecosystem collaboration.
From bold product breakthroughs and process innovations to agile business models and inclusive workplace cultures, the book will spotlight a wide spectrum of impact stories. It will be distributed to an exclusive audience of CXOs, policymakers, investors, and ecosystem leaders—making it both a recognition and a conversation catalyst.
