Celebrate good times
At IR Magazine, we thoroughly enjoy it when we get to polish our dress shoes, don tuxedos and fancy dresses, and recognize the best and brightest in investor relations at our award ceremonies.
During the last six months, we have hosted awards events in India, Europe and New York. The winners and nominees – outlined in the following pages – are a testament to the high standards that best-in-class investor relations can deliver to public companies. On top of that, the stories that emerge through the research and judging processes of these awards illustrate how IR continues to professionalize in emerging public markets like India.
Congratulations to all the winners and nominees at our events in 2019. We look forward to seeing you all again and hearing your wonderful success stories in 2020.
