Mr. Mohit Shrivastava to Unveil the Research Framework Behind India's Top 100 New-Age Business Leaders

New Delhi, June 26, 2026 - As India cements its position as one of the world's fastest-growing innovation economies, a new generation of founders, executives, and business visionaries is redefining what growth looks like. From technology-driven startups and digital-first brands to manufacturing pioneers and sustainability-focused enterprises, these leaders are shaping the future of Bharat's economic transformation.

Recognizing these trailblazers, Coherent Market Insights (CMI) has been appointed the Official Research Partner for the ET Now Bharat Growth Summit & Awards 2026, a premier platform dedicated to celebrating India's most influential new-age business leaders and high-impact enterprises. The summit will be held on June 26, 2026, at Taj Palace, New Delhi, under the theme "Bharat Rising – Scale, Sustainability & Supremacy."

Recognizing the Leaders Powering India's Growth Economy

The ET Now Bharat Growth Summit & Awards serves as a national platform that highlights individuals and organizations driving innovation, business excellence, and sustainable growth across India.

As part of its research mandate, Coherent Market Insights undertook an extensive evaluation exercise to identify India's Top 500 New-Age Business Leaders, ultimately shortlisting the Top 100 leaders through a rigorous, multi-layered assessment process.

Designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and credibility, the methodology combined eligibility screening, detailed leadership profiling, primary research, weighted performance evaluation, and independent jury validation.

The objective was not merely to identify successful businesses, but to recognize the individuals behind them—leaders whose decisions, vision, and execution capabilities have contributed meaningfully to organizational growth and industry transformation.

A Comprehensive Framework Built Around Leadership Excellence

The evaluation framework incorporated ten critical parameters, each designed to measure a different dimension of leadership and business impact.

Leadership credibility and decision-making effectiveness, along with execution capability and growth performance, carried the highest weightage, reflecting the importance of sustained leadership outcomes. Additional parameters assessed strategic vision, innovation leadership, business model differentiation, financial strength, market reach, customer perception, ecosystem contribution, and governance standards.

The framework was intentionally designed to evaluate leaders across organizations of varying scales and maturity levels. Whether assessing a rapidly growing D2C entrepreneur, a FinTech innovator, or a seasoned executive leading a large enterprise, the methodology emphasized leadership quality, execution strength, and long-term value creation over organizational size alone.

To capture the breadth of India's growth story, the assessment covered a wide spectrum of sectors including FinTech, BFSI, SaaS, consumer brands, HealthTech, EdTech, AgriTech, mobility and electric vehicles, FoodTech, retail, manufacturing, and Make in India initiatives.

Mr. Mohit Shrivastava to Present the Methodology

A key highlight of the summit will be a special presentation by Mr. Mohit Shrivastava, AVP – Research & Consulting at Coherent Market Insights, who will provide attendees with a detailed overview of the research framework that guided the selection process.

The session will explore the complete evaluation journey—from candidate identification and profiling to scoring methodology and jury validation—offering participants an inside look at the rigorous process behind one of India's most significant leadership recognition initiatives.

For founders, investors, policymakers, and business leaders attending the summit, the presentation will also showcase how research-driven frameworks can support strategic decision-making, leadership assessment, competitive benchmarking, and long-term growth planning.

Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Shrivastava noted that meaningful recognition must be grounded in measurable impact and objective evaluation.

"India's growth economy is being shaped by leaders who are building resilient businesses, driving innovation, and creating long-term value. Our goal was to develop a framework capable of identifying these individuals through a transparent and evidence-based assessment process."
