The ILC Power Brand Awards are the recognition platform associated with India Leadership Conclave. They recognise individuals and organisations that have demonstrated significant achievement, leadership, innovation and impact in their respective fields. The awards have recognised leaders and organisations across sectors including business, healthcare, entrepreneurship, social impact, education, entertainment and other areas of public and economic significance.

ILC Power Brand Award recipients are selected through a research-led, multi-stage evaluation and scrutiny process. The selection process considers factors such as: Demonstrated leadership and achievement Innovation and transformation Significant contribution to the respective sector Institutional or societal impact Track record and accomplishments Reputation and credibility Distinctive contribution or pioneering work The ILC's documented selection process has involved research and scrutiny by panels comprising experienced professionals, thought leaders, journalists, technocrats and academicians.
