01 September 2022: Glorifying the brilliant entrepreneurial talents in business who have contributed to Kerala’s economy, News18 Kerala today announced its flagship award – Kerala Business Awards 2022 happened on 29th August 2022 at Marriott, Kochi. The channel felicitates super achievers for their contributions in start-ups, micro, small, and medium businesses from the state.
Called God’s own country, Kerala is much more than a grand tourist attraction with scenic landscapes. Its advanced society has the highest literacy rate, highest life expectancy, lowest population growth and the highest ratio of females to males in India. The state exports coir, spices, cashew, marine products, and coffee. It is also the first state in India to have four international airports, namely in Kochi, Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram, and Kannur. Such industrial advances have been possible because of the exceptional business acumen of its residents, which will be highlighted by the Kerala Business Awards 2022.
The grand felicitation ceremony will felicitate businesspersons based on 15 categories including Best Pharmaceuticals Brand, Best Spices & Masala Brand, Excellence in Banking, Youth Icon, Most Trusted & Reliable Electrical Brand, Best Retail Brand, Best Healthcare Brand, Best Entertainment Brand, Best Footwear Brand, Lifetime Achievement, and more.
The awards adhere to a transparent and robust selection procedure with the News18 Editorial Board firstly drawing up a list of nominees. Thereafter, a jury of distinguished experts enlists the final winners. The award distinguishes itself by not only celebrating exemplary individuals and their achievements but also their out-of-the-box ideas that have inspired the state and impacted countless lives.
This year, the ceremony will be graced by eminent personalities such as Arif Mohammed Khan, Honourable Governor of Kerala. The exciting event will also feature eye-catching cultural performances by renowned artists representing the culture and tradition of Kerala.
