Auto Components India, the niche and highly sought after print medium of the Indian auto components industry, is glad to announce the fourth edition of Auto Components India Awards (ACI Awards 2020). The pioneering effort of the most widely read auto components magazine to identify and award the torch bearers of the USD 51.2 billion Indian auto components industry was a grand success in its third edition.

As we near the fourth edition, we humbly invite all of you from the industry to send in the nominations for yet another grand edition, latest by January 05, 2020.

Model of excellence
The merit of the cases/entries/nominations will be evaluated by the excellence model tool. It is a non-prescriptive framework that would recognise the approach towards excellence; towards the applicants’ soundness of approach; the rigour with which the approach was deployed, and if systematic assessment and review were integral to the process. The merit of the cases/entries/nominations will be also evaluated in terms of business excellence. It would look at the many approaches to sustainable excellence. The endeavour would thus be to ascertain how the applicant organisation fares in areas like:
Result orientation. Customer focus.
Management by processes and facts.
People development and involvement.
Continuous learning, innovation and improvement.
Leadership and purpose.
Partnership development.
Societal responsibility.
