From personal milestones and proud families to ambition and, of course, AI, the 12th edition of The Economic Times 40 Under Forty awards celebrated a generation shaping what comes next.
There was a little bit of everything at the awards evening at the Four Seasons-high tea, hurried conversations, champagne-fuelled catch-ups, handshakes and hugs. The young achievers mingled with the ease of people who had known each other for years, even when many had just met. Conversations jumped from kids and careers to technology and business, with a few founders being reminded, jokingly, that should anything go wrong with their apps, they would be the ones getting the call.
