Rather, it is part of the natural cycle of technology-driven business, with CIOs continuing to play a significant role in leading business transformation at their organizations. In line with this year’s theme, the 18th edition of the event will recognize 100 CISOs and CXOs from various verticals across India as The Innovative 100.
