Winning Perspectives

The November issue will carry their articles on leadership, and the January issue will carry their articles on technology

Finally, we are launching the much-awaited NEXT100 Club. The new platform will surely bring members of the NEXT100 community closer to each other

NEXT100 is about recognition and celebration. The issue that you are holding in your hand is a little more than that. It is winning perspectives—the leadership insights and experiences from the most distinguished IT managers from generation next—those who have won the coveted NEXT100 award over the last eight years.

In this context, I wanted to share some good news with you.

For long, the most common request that we have got from NEXT100 winners is to create a platform where they can interact with each other professionally and personally. While we have done that somewhat informally on WhatsApp for winners of specific batches, there is not yet a platform for all the winners across the years. And with all its flexibility and convenience, WhatsApp remains a bit disorganized and somehow a bit chaotic as a medium.

Finally, we are launching the much-awaited NEXT100 Club. Some of you already know about it. Some of you have even registered for it. The new platform will offer many new features and will surely create the members of the NEXT100 community closer and more useful for each other. You can find more about the club, its features and how you can be part of it – in this issue.

The first issue of 2018 will continue with what we have started in this issue—perspectives from NEXT100 winners. While we have started with leadership, the January issue will carry their articles on technology. If you want to write, please drop us a mail.
