  • India's real heroes

    India's real heroes are entrepreneurs who have made a difference and will be chosen carefully from across India and across sectors. The entrepreneurs will be from the public and private sector, from for profit and not for profit enterprises, with one common theme; they dared to be the change they wanted to see in society.
