The objective is to create a competition for raising overall quality & standards, and recognise the achievements of the best performing organisations. The question is how relevant, elaborate, and predetermined are the criteria, and how impartial is the assessment process?

Golden Peacock Awards, instituted by the Institute of Directors (IOD), India in 1991, are now regarded as a benchmark of Corporate Excellence worldwide.
No other Business Award today receives the kind of Recognition and Adulation among peers, that Golden Peacock does. Today, there are a large number of Business Awards globally. The purpose is to create a competition for raising overall standards and recognise the achievements of the best performing organisations. The question is how relevant, elaborate and predetermined are the criteria and how impartial is the assessment process?
It is here that Golden Peacock Awards, established in 1991, excel. Golden Peacock Awards for Leadership and Institutional Excellence, over the time, have become a hallmark of excellence, both locally and globally. No award has achieved such respectability and admiration from the industry as the ‘Golden Peacock Awards’, which today receives around 1000 applications for various Awards each year. This is largely due to its transparent and 3-Tier evaluation process, based on internationally recognized criteria. Besides recognition & Award, mere preparation of information and compilation of data required for ‘Self-Appraisal Report’, helps to align and inspire the entire workforce and rapidly accelerates the pace of system improvement in an organisation.
Award winners are eligible to use the Golden Peacock Awards Logo with year, on all printed and promotional materials, which evidences the highest accolade received by the organisation.
Any organisation, Large, Medium or Small, either in Manufacturing or Service Sector whether in Government, Public or Private sector, Research Organisations and NGOs are eligible to apply for these awards.
To create an Intra-Sector competitiveness, Golden Peacock Awards are considered separately under various Business Sectors and Sub-Sectors.

The shortlisted applicants are then submitted to a Jury of eminent people, known for their independence and impartiality, Chaired by Justice M. N. Venkatachaliah, former Chief Justice of India.
