Meet the winners of Mint-TechCircle Business Transformation Awards

In the past one year, organisations were forced to undergo extreme transformation of businesses and processes and reinvent themselves to stay relevant in the post pandemic era. Earlier this year, when the economy was finally beginning to open up, a second wave pushed it further back.   

As organisations are continuously striving to improve processes, agility, business structure, employee engagement, and crisis management, those that are upskilling continuously will survive in the coming decade. As per a McKinsey report, ever since the pandemic, the rate of adoption of consumer interaction with digital has gone up by three years globally. A huge percentage of organisations is now showing dependency on digital businesses, which is a clear indication that those who adapt to it will be the ones at the forefront.
