World Auto Forum Awards reward excellence and are based on the unique, tried, tested & proven Quadruple Elimination Process [QEP] which identifies and honours the winning people behind the winning cars, bikes & trucks! WAF Awards this year were held on 26th October 2018 at Radisson Blu Plaza, Delhi Airport.

WAF Awards are the platinum standard of rewards and recognition in the Global Auto Industry and are very scientific and relevant, powered by process & analytics. The methodology followed has been carefully devised to remove any bias towards a particular company or individual. It is called the Quadruple Elimination Process [QEP]:

These prestigious awards are powered by the unique Quadruple Elimination Process that involves four levels of screening:

1. Selection parameters finalized by CXOs from Auto makers – Advisory Council comprising cross-functional CXO’s from Auto Makers to endorse and finalise the selection parameters and their weightage.

2. Exhaustive research by young researchers from IIT Delhi – The Research Team from IIT Delhi, develops in-depth reports on every Auto Manufacturer and their functional performance & achievements.

3. Multiple Jury rounds  – An eminent Jury panel comprising senior members of the corporate world, Govt or Semi Govt institutions & successful entrepreneurs is set up which evaluates the top performers through multiple sessions. This Year IIT Delhi Research Team put in close to 3 months of research. The Jury invested 8 hours across 2 Jury Rounds. There was more than 155 Years of cumulative experience on the Jury Panel thanks to the senior and distinguished Jury Members.

4. Reference checks – Finally the selected winners are made to go through a reference check process before the announcement of results & ceremony.

This year, the selection was made from a total of 40 Auto makers in India. The WAF award truly celebrates the authentic winning performances of CXOs / Functional heads from amongst the Auto makers.
