With more than 270 nominations, this year’s ranking also features the results of the public poll, in which PrintWeek readers and indeed industry professionals had the chance to select industry’s A-Listers.

With a record-breaking 7,474 votes (registered and verified), the industry lent support to The Power 100.

Dibyajyoti Sarma, associate editor at PrintWeek said, "Following a year of uncertainty, we decided to publish this year’s Power 100 to spread a bit of optimism in the industry. The response has been terrific." Sarma added, "The Power 100 is a good indicator about where the industry is heading. When you study the fair few ‘resignations’ from the membership of the industry’s most exclusive club you can spot lots of new names, plus new cities. Traditional companies in traditional print bastions have all been replaced with new members making their debuts."

In addition to the votes, the edit team members looked at profitability and performance and products and print buyer ratings. Plus PrintWeek doffed its hat to those who maintained high standards (and high morale) and deserved to be India's most important print and packaging firms.

“Thank you to everyone that took part in this year’s poll; putting together the Power 100 is a massive undertaking for the editorial team and we really appreciate the support,” said PrintWeek's associate editor Rahul Kumar. “Congratulations to all this year’s Power 100 members, you’re all deserved members of a pretty exclusive club.”
