Golden Peacock Awards, instituted by the Institute of Directors (IOD), India in 1991, are now regarded as a benchmark of Corporate Excellence worldwide. No award has achieved such respectability as the Golden Peacock, which today receives around 1000 applications a year, for various categories. This is largely due to its transparent and 3-Tier evaluation process, based on internationally recognized criteria. Besides recognition & Award, mere preparation of information and compilation of data required for ‘Self-Appraisal Report’, helps to align and inspire the entire workforce and rapidly accelerates the pace of system improvement in an organisation. These awards now cover over 15 different corporate functional disciplines nationally and four globally.
