The 2017 edition of the awards was held on December 13th in Mumbai.

PERP is a unique platform designed with an objective to recognize projects undertaken by manufacturing and service enterprises in India to achieve business goals, create competitive businesses, enhance sustainability and facilitate change management in today's complex business environment.
Talking about the awards program and the participation this year, Gowtham Sivabalan, Associate Director, Manufacturing & Process Consulting Practice, Frost & Sullivan, said “Improvement projects in organizations are no longer about addressing inefficiencies, they are becoming the proving ground for innovative and novel methodologies that are employed for being future ready. With the evaluation benchmarks raised even higher this year, it is heartening to note a high number of projects have been shortlisted to the final round! Besides serving as a catalyst toward continual improvement by encouraging participants, cross pollination of ideas and shortening the learning curve are some of the benefits that organizations acknowledge of participating in the PERP.”
