And ladies and gentlemen, now to inaugurate today's event, I would like to kindly request Dr. Anurag Batra, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Exchange for Media and Business World to say a few words here. Can we have the video please? Good evening. Welcome to this very impactful evening of India's top digital leaders. The Impact Digital Power 100 list is the definitive list to look at the leaders in the digital space who are leading digital transformation of businesses of enterprises and making sure that the businesses are relevant in a way that the millenial consumers to consume content digitally who do e-commerce and that's how they interface with products and services, have a digital bridge to be able to do this.

The Tech 100 list is the definitive list of tech leaders in the Indian business ecosystem. So congratulations to all of you and I'm sure this list will inspire a lot of you to be able to do great work for your brand and business. Thank you so much. God bless you. Thank you. Thank you so much Dr. Batra for joining us remotely from the event that you are at. We also have with us ladies and gentlemen the co-founder and director of exchange for media who is here to say a few words and congratulate the winners. So may I please invite on screen Mr. Nawal Ahuja. A very warm welcome to you Mr. Ahuja. Thank you Khyati and a very good evening to all of you. I'm very happy to be at this event unfortunately we are all meeting virtually hopefully as this new year starts and the government rolls out the vaccination program we should all be able to meet in real face to face sometime very soon. Never did us in the meanwhile as Khyati and Anurag have both mentioned we curated this list to recognize leaders in the digital in the technology space. I'll give you a bit of a background and context. It was in the year 2012 when we launched our first impact digital power hundred list. And as you can imagine though it was just nine years back the digital world nine years back was a very very different era. There was hardly any Facebook at that time. WhatsApp had just launched and it was not as accepted as it is today. Social media was not as powerful influential as it is today. Majority of the legacy companies both in the media industry and outside were not really into digital very deeply e-commerce was really really nascent there were small e-commerce companies springing up. So in the first year for us to curate a list of hundred people I won't say it was an easy job but it was relatively straight forward as compared to what we have done this year. The list at that time largely included people who were who had become pioneers in the digital industry. I remember Make My Trip had come up over the last you know seven eight years before 2012 and Deep Kalra, Sanjeev Hikchandani of Naukri. These were the original some of the original pioneers in the digital ecosystem in India. There were digital agencies springing up young entrepreneurs launching digital agencies. There were some legacy companies trying to make a little bit of their digital plays but that was not much. So in that sense that list was far more homogenous if I can call it. There were buckets of three four types of people who were put into that list. We did not have a list of too many marketers then large number of companies were not looking at digital marketing very seriously. Advertising spends on digital used to be miniscule I recall. I don't have exact numbers of fan but if advertising spends on digital are today almost 20,000, 22,000 crores my guess is it was perhaps one tenth or lesser of that number in 2012 which is not surprising given how fast the digital advertising has grown. And now we are today in an era where well everything around us digital you sleep eat breathe digital and COVID has just accelerated that digital adoption that much more specially in the parts of the country that we call called Bharat the country parts of country outside of the large metros. So in that sense when we started working on this year's list we realized it is far more heterogeneous and a far more complex than we undertook last time. Hence what you see or what you're going to see over the next four evenings is a list which comprises of four parts as Khyati mentioned. List one is the technology list which is people in this country who are driving the technology ecosystem who are driving technology adoption amongst masses who are doing truly cutting edge and pioneering work in the technology space. List two as again was mentioned earlier is business leaders who are contributing significantly through their companies and individual efforts to the growth of the digital ecosystem in India whether they are in the media space or outside of media space how they are contributing through e-commerce driving businesses of their companies or by contributing significant spends of digital advertising to the ecosystem. List three is the marketing hundred list which is primarily people who are in the marketing ecosystem who are contributing to growth of companies to growth of brands through their efforts in marketing. List four is the digital hundred. So these are the four lists. What you'll see is roughly 400 or name some lists have a little more than 100 people. So from a list of 100 that we did in 2012 we are this time going to unveil a list of 400 plus and it is only fair to say that the digital ecosystem has grown multiple times. If 100 was not a limitation I think a list that we would put together of the most influential people will run up to easily a thousand people but we wanted to curate a list which really recognizes people who are who have contributed immensely and as you will also notice a lot of these people don't really need recognition they don't need to be on lists to be recognized for what they're doing but this is our way of recognizing their effort felicitating them and thanking them for making contributions to the Indian digital and the technology ecosystem. Last but not the least this is a ranking. The first three lists are ranking and as you know as happens with the list that are ranking it's a subjective evaluation. It has been done and data that has been made available to us. You might find some arguments as far as some rankings are concerned we are very happy to receive your feedback. Let me congratulate all the listors who have made it this year to the four lists and I'm very happy that we are doing this initiative to recognize the efforts of all of these 400 plus people.

Once again like to congratulate all the names on the list and of course we have with us Mr. Ritesh Agarwal of Oyo Rooms who sent us a video message accepting this recognition so let's first play Ritesh's video. Can we have the video please? Thank you Dr. Anurag Batra and the entire E4M team for this recognition. A very happy new year to everyone. I am absolutely honored and delighted to be included in the Impact Digital Power 100 list along with so many distinguished individuals who I greatly admire. To me personally there couldn't have been a better way to start this year. Both personally and professionally 2020 can be described as a transformational year. The hospitality industry went from a high touch to contactless. The pandemic gave us a lens into the future and we also learned to never let a crisis go waste. At Oyo it gives us the opportunity to reassess and reto and frankly reflect that the power of technology data and innovation can create industry first measures and this will allow us to adopt to the new normal making 2021 the year of Oyo's research driven by sustainable growth. With the vaccine on the horizon I am excited about the possibilities 2021 has to offer while we as an industry chart a new growth path. If there is something 2020 has taught us it is that while India went on a lockdown our zeal to travel could not remain locked. We use this opportunity to ensure that wherever essential travel was so required we ensured that consumers travel the shortest distances they were safe and all the precautions were kept in mind. In December 2020 1.7 million plus checked into an Oyo over the weekends and we saw 8.5 million people travel in 2020 in India. And India was consistently one of the most booked countries around the world in the Oyo family demonstrating the recovery that India has been seeing. If this is an indication we believe that the hospitality industry will see better days in 2021 and our efforts of 2020 will set new precedents in the travel and tourism industry. I must of course call out a lot of these are early recovery and remains temporary and hence it's critical for us to make sure that we continue to take all the precautions just not just ourselves but also people at large so that we can continue to make sure that all this feeling of ability to travel we can preserve and continue to build on the fantastic trend that India has seen. Our partners who never lost faith we navigated the crisis together and not just that. In the middle of the crisis helped hundreds of thousands of frontliners by free stays and enablement for the accommodation as they sometimes had to stay in for hotel premises. Our customers gave us immense faith and love throughout this period. I'm grateful, thankful and really, really appreciative for their help in this period of time. What also kept us going is being able to share the message of what we're trying to do the acknowledgments of the mistakes we had made the commitment to the future and the belief that we have for the future is our core partners and friends in the content ecosystem leaders in the ecosystem and various other market leaders. I also want to make sure that our friends at E4M have allowed us to proliferate our dynamic changes in the travel industry to a wider set of audience and I'm deeply grateful to all of you here. I know Prasidha and other team members of the OEO communications team have often been recognized by the E4M team and we're all really grateful to all of you for the recognition. I would like to conclude by saying that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. 2020 needless to say jolted us all and made us rethink as a society on our priorities as well as a company. We realized that acknowledgement, humility, passion, perseverance and a will to never give up we can immerse stronger out of any situation. I'm a believer, I'm sure that 2021 even though we are not out of the woods yet will mark a great year of beginning. Here's to making sure that we continue digging and if we keep digging there is always light on the other side of the tunnel. Thank you all for this incredible honor.
