CIO 100 is the acknowledged mark of excellence in enterprise IT and is considered the ‘Oscars of the Indian IT Industry’. This proud tradition of recognizing CIOs began in the USA over 3 decades ago and is now a celebrated annual event across continents.

Technology, after the volatile years, is now noteworthy, ubiquitous and multiplier of growth as organizations and their digital leaders (CEOs and CIOs) drive faster business outcomes with new-age solutions, innovative services and customer experiences. Foundry believes that technology exists to make the world a better place and at no time in history has that been more amplified than the past eighteen months. The 18th Annual India edition of CIO100 Awards and Symposium scheduled on 7 & 8 September, 2023 hence takes on even larger significance.  
 
The CIO100 symposium and awards is based on a theme that best reflects the current business landscape. This year, we at Foundry India celebrate The Disruptive 100—CIOs and technology leaders who have demonstrated a progressive and forward- thinking spirit by embracing new ideas, new technologies and new opportunities to advance their organisations and make them future ready. The unprecedented disruption in businesses has propelled CIOs and organizations to be versatile adapting to these sudden, dramatic, and global conditions that have impacted supply-chains, employees and customers like never before. 
 
The 2023 CIO 100 awards and symposium is a 2-day event encompassing international keynote, industry stalwarts, leading CIOs will host ‘who’s who of India’s IT industry’ over panel discussions, roundtables, power sessions and awards ceremony. With technology topics around cloud, security, collaboration, customer experience and the likes, the larger objective of the symposium remains to deliberate around digital leadership, work- culture shift, changing business climate, that truly empowers CIOs to emerge as the innovative leaders for 2023 and beyond.
