This year, on a special request by Auto OEM’s, we ran an unofficial Best pavilion contest to reward the best pavilions at the Auto Expo 2018. The enthusiasm kept everyone in high spirits! Speaking about the contest, Anuj Guglani, CEO World Auto Forum said, “We have been doing the WAF Awards for best Auto Maker CXO’s for last 6 Years through QEP – Quadruple Elimination Process, one of the world’s toughest selection processes. It was time to get a similar selection process for Auto Makers at the Auto Expo 2018 too. After all, the best of the best need the best selection process too! I am thankful to the distinguished members of our Jury. We really appreciate the time and effort they put in to explore and evaluate the pavilions at the AutoExpo 2018. My heartiest congratulations to all the winners!”
