Dr. Bina Modi Honoured as ‘Woman Icon of the Year’ By Piyush Goyal , Hon’ble Minister of Commerce and Industry

New Delhi: Dr. Bina Modi, Chairperson of Modi Enterprises – KK Modi Group, has been conferred with the prestigious “Woman Icon of the Year” award at the 9th Business Leadership Awards organised by the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (IACC). The award was presented by Mr Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Minister for Commerce and Industry, Government of India, recognising Dr. Modi’s outstanding contribution to business leadership and her enduring impact on people, communities, and society at large.

The felicitation took place during the Inaugural Session of the 22nd Indo-US Economic Summit, held on November 18, 2025, at Hotel The Leela Palace, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. Mr Goyal graced the occasion as the Chief Guest, lending further significance to the ceremony. The summit, IACC’s flagship annual event, was themed “Shaping a Shared Future: India–US Collaboration for Global Resilience,” bringing together policymakers, business leaders, and industry stakeholders from both nations.

The “Woman Icon of the Year” award recognises leaders who not only drive business success but also elevate ecosystems through inclusive growth, ethical practices, and long-term vision. Dr. Bina Modi’s leadership philosophy reflects this balance, combining strategic clarity with compassion and courage. Over the years, she has consistently demonstrated that sustainable business success is rooted in empowering people and aligning profit with purpose.

Under her stewardship, Modi Enterprises has continued to strengthen its legacy as a diversified business group while remaining deeply committed to social responsibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Dr. Modi’s approach places people at the heart of progress, guided by the belief that when individuals are empowered, organisations flourish and societies move forward. This latest recognition adds to a long list of accolades that Dr. Modi has received over the years.

These include honours such as Women Empowerment in Leadership, Outstanding Businesswoman of the Year, Most Inspiring Woman in Business, and Women Transforming India, among many others. Each award underscores her role as a trailblazer who has consistently challenged conventional boundaries and redefined leadership in the corporate world. Dr. Modi is widely admired for her ethical and sustainable approach to business, one that focuses on creating long-term value for all stakeholders rather than short-term gains.

Her leadership is marked by a strong commitment to governance, transparency, and responsibility, ensuring that growth is both resilient and inclusive. Beyond boardrooms, she has championed initiatives that give back to communities, support social development, and contribute positively to the environment. The Indo-American Chamber of Commerce, through its Business Leadership Awards, celebrates individuals and organisations that exemplify excellence and contribute meaningfully to strengthening India–US economic and strategic ties.

By honouring Dr. Bina Modi, IACC has highlighted the importance of women leaders in shaping global business narratives and fostering collaboration across borders. As India and the United States continue to deepen their partnership amid evolving global challenges, leaders like Dr. Bina Modi stand out for their ability to combine vision with values. The “Woman Icon of the Year” award is not only a recognition of her achievements but also a tribute to her enduring belief that businesses can be powerful agents of positive change. Dr. Bina Modi’s journey serves as an inspiration for aspiring leaders, reaffirming that purpose-driven leadership, grounded in ethics and inclusivity, remains central to building resilient organisations and a more equitable future.
