If you, the reader, know of those people who have brought about change in your community or in society at large, please support them by nominating them for the bl Changemaker Awards 2025. The nominations window closes on June 30 midnight.
The Changemaker Awards celebrate the unsung heroes amongst us, those who through their actions and deeds, have deeply influenced change in society, communities, mindsets or in physical spaces to make the world a better place to live in. They are the people who need to be felicitated for their pathbreaking efforts to positively impact the world. Individuals who have been change agents can also nominate themselves.
While most among us prefer the status quo, there are those who seek change without wanting to contribute to it. But there are few who actually take the plunge to bring about the change quietly. It is these silent crusaders, who need to be supported and celebrated.
Six editions of the awards have been held since 2018, the year The Hindu businessline stepped into its 25th year of publishing. The 2021 edition could not be held due to the pandemic. Now, the work on the 2025 edition of the Changemaker Awards has begun.
Five categories
Nominations can be made across five categories of awards — Changemaker: Social Transformation; Changemaker: Digital Transformation; Changemaker: Financial Transformation; Young Changemaker and Iconic Changemaker. One flagship award goes to the Changemaker of the Year which is awarded to a person or an organisation that has ushered in far-reaching change.
The Process
Once the nomination window closes, the applications will be screened and evaluated by businessline along with our knowledge partners (Deloitte and Ashoka). The shortlisted nominees will be validated by our validation partner (Niiti Consulting) before the list is sent to an independent jury to pick the winners in each category.
