PROPEL Awards 2024

The PROPEL Awards 2024 will focus on the often unsung heroes in the FMCG industry: the leaders and teams in Procurement, R&D, New Product Development (NPD), Brand Marketing and Supply Chain. These professionals play a crucial role in building and scaling great brands by driving innovation, operational efficiency, and strategic execution. PROPEL stands for driving forward, a reflection of the immense contribution of these professionals to the growth of their brands.

We believe that building a brand is not a solo endeavor but a collaborative effort. Successful brands are the result of effective teamwork, where each member plays a crucial role in driving innovation and operational success. The awards aim to celebrate this spirit of collaboration by recognizing the combined efforts of various teams that contribute to the brand's growth and market impact.

This award celebrates the leaders and teams responsible for:

  • Turning ideas into reality through seamless execution.
  • Building brands through collaboration with contract manufacturers, suppliers, and other key stakeholders.
  • Propelling brands forward through strategic innovations and creative problem-solving.

The PROPEL Awards will take place from 6.00 pm onwards on 28th Nov 2024 at the CMPL show venue.
