    Kalpana Morparia, CEO, JP Morgan India
    “This is a generation that was born in a later world, where digital rules. Their ability to think and execute will be vastly faster than my generation. What makes me most excited about our country is the power of youth. Trendsetters today exemplify that.”

    “The workplace needs to reflect the demography of the organisation. It has to be a place where one can work, and enjoy their time doing so. They have to be able to have fun and be productive at the same time."

    AWARDING TRENDSETTING BOSS WITH STYLE

    Alka & Atul Nishar, Founder, Aza Fashions; Founder Hexaware Technologies
    Atul: “A boss with style is someone who evolves and discovers new aspects of fashion as well as does new things at the workplace.”

    Alka: “Bosses tend to be so engrossed with work that the style quotient is missing. . Getting a mix of both is tough.”

    "To be an entrepreneur, you have to have the willingness to take a risk. You are not going to have the certainty of success. Have creative ideas and you should be able to sel those to your employees. And you need to have some basic financial discipline."

    AWARDING TRENDSETTING IDEA

    Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group
    “A heady cocktail of brainpower, firepower and passion power coupled with intuition spawns the eureka moment. And this I could sense in these trendsetters who strode to the stage — definitive, innovation-driven youngsters with awesome ideas.”
