Peyush Bansal, the founder of Lenskart was awarded the 'Innovator of the Year' award. Mr Bansal transformed a small idea into a multi-billion dollar company. Lenskart is one of the most popular eyewear brands in India. Speaking about his journey and his future vision he said, "The best days are yet to come, there's so much innovation happening on the grassroots level in India, when I go to the smaller towns or when I meet people on shark tank I realise people are working with much fewer resources at a much faster speed".
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.
