Wipro wins 2003 Asian Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise Award
MUMBAI: Wipro Technologies has won the 2003 Asian Most Admired Knowledge Enterprise (MAKE) Award.
Wipro Technologies was recognised in the second annual Asian MAKE study for creating a corporate-wide knowledge-driven culture and delivering knowledge-based products/services/solutions.
The award was presented on 15 October in a glittering ceremony which was part of the World Knowledge Forum at Seoul, Korea, a company release says.
In 2002, Wipro had won KM World’s KM Reality Award for best practices in Knowledge Management. Wipro has now set-up a dedicated practice around Collaboration and KM, and started offering solutions to clients in areas like knowledge portals, expertise management systems, intelligent agents and executive dashboards.
According to Rory Chase, managing director of Teleos, which conducts MAKE, “These organisations have been recognized as global leaders in effectively transforming enterprise knowledge into wealth-creating ideas, products and solutions.” Organisations dedicated to growth through innovation and knowledge management create shareholder value twice as fast as their competitors, according to Teleos’ new “2003 Asian Most Admired Knowledge Enterprises (MAKE) Study.”

YFLO appoints Tania Nijhawan as president for 2026-27 term
Dentist-entrepreneur to lead women’s body amid rising focus on leadership
NEW DELHI: Young FICCI Ladies Organisation (YFLO), the women’s arm of FICCI, has appointed Tania Nijhawan as its president for the 2026-27 tenure, effective April 2026, at a time when conversations around women’s leadership in India are gaining fresh momentum.
A cosmetic and paediatric dentist with over 15 years of experience, Nijhawan is the founder of Udana Wellness, a multi-speciality clinic in Vasant Vihar known for its focus on advanced treatments and patient-centric care. She also serves as director at Nijhawan Group and is an active investor in start-ups across health, wellness and hospitality, including Nuts For Us.
Her academic credentials include advanced training from global institutions such as New York University, the University of Southern California and University College London, shaping her multidisciplinary approach across dentistry and wellness.
YFLO has long positioned itself as a platform for leadership, entrepreneurship and professional growth, bringing together women across industries to drive dialogue and collaboration. Under Nijhawan’s leadership, the organisation is expected to sharpen its focus on cross-sector engagement and meaningful, future-facing conversations.
Speaking on her appointment, Tania Nijhawan said, “YFLO has always stood for meaningful engagement and forward-thinking dialogue. I look forward to building a platform that not only encourages exchange of ideas but also actively supports emerging voices and creates opportunities for collaboration across sectors.”
She added, “The Women’s Reservation Bill, which seeks to reserve 33% of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies, is not just a policy shift, it is a generational opportunity. It acknowledges the urgent need for women to have a stronger voice in shaping the nation’s future. True progress lies not just in representation, but in enabling women to lead with agency, confidence and impact.”
As president, Nijhawan will focus on curated programming, high-impact industry conversations and initiatives that bring together women across disciplines. Her theme for the year, “Lead With Your Light,” signals a push towards purpose-led leadership and greater confidence among emerging voices.
Her appointment marks a new chapter for YFLO, one that aims to align leadership, enterprise and policy at a time when women’s voices are increasingly central to India’s growth story.
