It’s that time of year again. The third edition of the Forbes India Leadership Awards will be held on Wednesday, October 16, at the Trident Hotel in Mumbai. It is a chance for the captains of the Indian industry to meet, mingle and laud the best performers of the year.

The concept behind the awards is simple: We at Forbes India believe that entrepreneurial capitalism has the ability to transform India and we want to celebrate the people who have triumphed fair and square. We put in a lot of research to give our distinguished jury a list of 52 nominees, leaving them with the tough task of whittling it down to the 10 winners.

Last year’s glittering event saw Kumar Mangalam Birla (pictured above) take home the flagship Entrepreneur for the Year award for foraying into businesses like telecom, retail, and financial services and changing the profile of the conglomerate, which earlier was dominant in old economy sectors. N Chandrasekaran of TCS was the ‘Best CEO—Private sector’ and Hindustan Unilever’s Nitin Paranjpe took home ‘Best CEO—MNC’ award. You can view the list of 2012 winners here.

And here's the video recording of the full event.

In 2012, attendees voted on iPads to choose the best speakers live. This year, the event will be even bigger, pitting the likes of Harsh Mariwala and Mohandas Pai against each other in a series of head-to-head debates, witnessed by business leaders of the calibre of Adi Godrej, Zia Mody and Akhil Gupta. But more on that tomorrow…
