Gaurang Vora, Chair PMO India Awards
As the chair of PMO India Awards, I heartily welcome all our nominees who are participating in the celebration of their professional journey in PMO and our esteemed judges from all over the globe, who have a mammoth task of evaluating our nominees. This goes without saying that the India award event is amongst my most treasured, as it provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the preceding year, address the whole community, and share the achievements and success of how the PMOs have delivered values. This is our first year for PMO India Awards and I am so grateful to see the overwhelming response from companies and PMO Leaders who are interested to showcase their journey. We have 3 categories for nomination which are – PMO Of The Year, New Comer PMO Of The Year, and PMO Leader Of The Year.
