India’s entrepreneurial landscape is booming with innovation, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership. At The Forttuna Group, we’ve had the privilege of recognizing some of the most visionary business minds in the country through our Global Excellence Awards. But what truly sets these entrepreneurs apart? It’s not just their success it’s their mindset.

Purpose Over Profit
Many of our award recipients share a common thread: they’re driven by purpose. Whether it’s solving a social problem, building a sustainable future, or empowering underserved communities, their “why” is rooted in impact. This clarity fuels long-term growth and loyalty.
