About Event,
“CIO500 Accelerator X Awards 2025” is a reward and recognition event for the CIOs and IT leaders to celebrate their success. Organized by Enterprise IT World, this event would recognize the CIOs who have performed well in the last 12 months to keep their organizations in the growth path and who have been the cornerstone of the organization in the path of modernization and supported in business transformation.
CIO500 Accelerator X Awards 2025 would create ground for the peer group discussion and collaboration about their strategy in business transformation and infrastructure modernization.
India as a country is growing at the rate of 7%+ YoY from the GDP perspective. The country has already achieved GDP of $4 trillion in 2025 and aims at touching $7.3 trillion by 2030. It means there is an upside of almost 45-50 percent of growth of the organizations. Therefore, the CIOs and IT heads need to be updated about new technologies and solutions so that they can implement those solutions for the excellence of their organizations.
At Enterprise IT Would, our goal is to reach out to CIOs and IT decision makers in major 10 cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad in the first phase and touch base with at least 500 CIOs and IT Head.
These 10 cities are epicenter of action where various large organizations are having their base and operating in the space of Manufacturing, Retail, Automotive, Healthcare, Hospitality, Finance, IT&ITeS, Aviation, Defense, Oil & Gas Real Estate, Chemical, Education, Services, Mining, EPC, etc.
