L&T Chairman Emeritus A M Naik (AMN) has been conferred the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award 2024 by the All India Management Association (AIMA), the apex body of the management profession in India. AMN was the unanimous choice of the august jury.
The award recognises AMN’s success in implementing industry’s best management practices, while transforming L&T into a global powerhouse. He had articulated a new vision which placed the Company on a new direction of growth while boosting shareholder value.
