This year, GMA introduced two new awards, which were initiated and adjudged by GMA itself, with a view to recognise exemplary leadership among CEOs who have impacted the business performance and transformed their organisations, and also to recognise those young startup organisations who are doing path-breaking work.
- CEO of the year
- Startup of the year
With the patronage of its members and member organisations, GMA has been fostering excellence in management practices and leadership. Every year, GMA honours individuals, from business organisations in Goa, for their exemplary contribution to their organisation and society / community, through its two manager awards, which recognise individuals and thereby, their organisations, but also seek to highlight best practices for others to follow.
Promoting future management talent in Goa is integral to these endeavours. GMA also awards outstanding talent in management, in students at the post-graduate and under-graduate levels.
GMA instituted the Manager of the Year Award, comprising a gold plated silver medal and a trophy, in 1996, and the Young Manager of the Year Award, comprising a silver salver and a trophy, in 2003. In 2003, GMA instituted the Best Management Student (PG) of the Year Award, comprising a silver medal and a trophy, and in 2005, the Best Management Student (UG) of the Year Award, comprising a silver salver. A trophy for the UG award was introduced from 2014.
A jury, consisting of reputed persons from industry and institutions in Goa, selects the recipients following an assessment process based on pre-defined criteria and metrics.
