Great Indian Developer Awards 2008

The inaugural edition of Saltmarch Media's annual Great Indian Developer Awards at Great Indian Developer Summit 2008 was the first-of-its-kind ceremony that honored winners across a range of categories in the IT Developer ecosystem.

The awards focused on trailblazing individuals, technologies, and organizations that are contributing to the evangelism, productivity and innovation excellence of the Indian developer ecosystem. The Great Indian Developer Awards highlighted product excellence, research and innovation, corporate achievements, the strongest individual efforts, and the most compelling community efforts among the entire IT developer fraternity in India.

The first edition of Great Indian Developer Awards was a highly participatory process involving stakeholders from the developer ecosystem and the high stature awards jury. The decision process was staggered across three stages. Stages I and II involved a democratic community participation with shortlists for each category and subsequent voting on those shortlists, spearheaded by the developer ecosystem. Stage III involved counting the votes and presenting the top three in each category to an esteemed panel of judges.

The judging process culminated in an exclusive ‘awards nite’ with a high stature panel felicitating the awardees. The winners are now undoubtedly set on the fast route to broad recognition for their achievements.
