Ten CIOs from India make it to InformationWeek’s Global CIO 50 List
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jun 09, 2009 – Ten CIOs (Chief Information Officers) from leading Indian organizations spanning diverse industry verticals have made it to the first-ever Global CIO 50 List instituted by InformationWeek, the business technology market’s leading multimedia brand.
The CIOs from India join 40 others from across the globe on this prestigious list that features the world’s foremost IT leaders impacting the business world, chosen from leading corporations all over the globe. India, with 10 CIOs on the list, is second only to the US, and ahead of Europe, China, Brazil, Japan and Korea, in terms of representation. The CIOs were selected based on their strategic contributions to their companies, as well as for their market leadership, innovative IT-enabled business practices and results, and by their overall achievement and impact.
Among the CIOs from India who made it to the Global CIO 50 List is Dr Jai Menon, Group CIO for Bharti Enterprises and Director for Technology at Bharti Airtel. As CIO, Menon led Bharti towards a new utility outsourcing business model for its telecom business, resulting in cost innovation that is now being replicated in various parts of the globe. Further, at Bharti, Menon also runs a core business function—customer service—indicative of the new model of the global evolution of the role of the CIO.
The other CIOs from India on the Global CIO 50 list are Laxman Badiga, Wipro; David Briskman, Ranbaxy Laboratories; Ashish Chauhan, Reliance Industries; Sumit Chowdhury, Reliance Communications; Vikas Gadre, Tata Chemicals; Arun Gupta, Shoppers Stop; Sunil Mehta, JWT; Anantha Sayana, Larsen & Toubro; and, Pravir Vohra, ICICI Bank.
“The CIOs named in the InformationWeek Global CIO 50 reflect three major themes we found in our recent research study,” said Global CIO Senior Vice President Bob Evans. “CIOs are focusing on working to spend less money on internal IT issues and more on external, customer-facing projects. They are also developing and refining new ways to capture and communicate the business value of IT and finally, they are shifting the internal outlooks of worldwide IT organizations to reflect global perspectives.”
Val Souza, Editorial Director for Technology at United Business Media (India), who coordinated the nominations process from India, said: “The fact that 10 CIOs from India made it to the final list points to the increasing sophistication of IT deployment at enterprises across India, and the world-class qualities and skill-sets that Indian CIOs bring to the table today.” Souza, who is also the Conference Chair for INTEROP Mumbai (www.interop.com/mumbai), added: “I received over 50 first-rate entries from Indian CIOs and I am almost certain that the List will morph into the Global CIO 100 next year, with an even larger representation from India. Enterprise IT in India has well and truly arrived.”
The ten CIOs from India represent diverse industry verticals, including Banking, Telecom, Retail, Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Advertising, and IT Services. Details of the Indian CIOs on the list can be accessed via United Business Media (India)’s Network Computing website at www.networkcomputing.in/globalcio50.aspx
