On this recognition, Jagran New Media CEO  Bharat Gupta said “I am truly honoured to receive this award and grateful for my team's continued efforts towards using content and technology to build equitable and progressive societies, by fostering an environment of purpose, experience, and community. Five years ago, with the objective of launching a women-only website, we launched HerZindagi.com, to carve a niche for our women audiences.

Our sustained commitment to keeping purpose over profit resulted in the rapid growth of the website's user base by an astounding 32 per cent over the past two years. The overall strategy is solely driven by impacting & engaging the audiences by fostering a community for women that educates, empowers, inspires and gives them a platform to be heard, seen, & recognized.”

This year’s theme was “Purpose over Profit” which recognized corporations & individuals championing the greater good, awarding the beacons inspiring a new world.

Bharat's recognition goes beyond industry acknowledgement as it represents a tangible difference in society that HerZindagi makes daily.
