Sukumar was one of 30 regional entrepreneurs selected as finalists by an independent panel of judges. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth, and impact, among other core contributions and attributes. Sukumar was a prior finalist for this award in 2021, and this is his second nomination.
"I am honored to be a finalist for this prestigious award a second time. This group of finalists are successful entrepreneurs with impressive track records, and I am thrilled to be included with them. As always, the credit goes to our amazing employees who make us look brilliant every day," said Sukumar Iyer.
Entrepreneur Of The Year honors many different types of business leaders for their ingenuity, courage and entrepreneurial spirit. The program celebrates original founders who bootstrapped their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow their company; transformational CEOs who infused innovation into an existing organization to catapult its trajectory; and multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy business model to fortify it for the future.
Regional award winners will be announced on June 20 during a special celebration and will become lifetime members of an esteemed community of Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world.
