About The Awards

As India strides towards a Vikasit future, NDTV is excited to announce an evening of celebrations with our iconic Indian of the Year 2024 awards. The event, spotlighting the theme of “India – A Transformative Power".

Hon'ble Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar joined us as Chief Guest, along with other esteemed guests including Union Ministers Hardeep Puri, Ashwini Vaishnaw and Smriti Zubin Irani. The event featured some of the biggest names from entertainment, politics, business, sports and culture.

Since the very first Indian of the Year was held in 2005, NDTV’s signature event has grown to become an important platform to honour individuals and organisations dedicated to the nation’s progress. The awards have consistently celebrated India’s heroes, famous or unsung, acknowledging their extraordinary contribution to the society.

As a tribute to this spirit of excellence, the Indian of the Year is back in 2024, bigger and better than ever.
