fertilizer company in India to transition to cashless economy successfully. Company’s
township in Bharuch, Gujarat became the first 100% cashless township of India. Business

management, which is a classic example of capturing value in a new way through
steady transformation. It followed three precise and concise steps that began
with trainings and digital literacy campaigns far and wide, followed by building
and adapting infrastructure, and concluded with cross functional task force
deployed for implementation, outreach and support. Knowledge sharing and cross
silo functioning of GNFC township and (n) Code, GNFC’s IT wing optimized
results.
The Golden Peacock
Awards, has been established by the Institute of Directors (IOD) in India in
1991. They are now widely acknowledged as a benchmark of Corporate Excellence
worldwide. The award seeks to develop a healthy ecosystem of sustainable
business practices, raise the overall standards of developing and implementing
transformative business models, and to recognise the achievements of the best
performing organisations.
GNFC won from among 313
applicants for Golden Peacock Global Award for Innovative Product/Service.
Applicants included SMEs, Public, Private and Government Enterprises for the
year 2017. After a rigorous 3 level procedure of shortlisting and selection by
independent assessors comprising experts in the field, GNFC’s cashless township
was selected by the Grand Jury as a model to be emulated. The Awards Jury
functioned under the Chairmanship of Justice Dr. Arijit Pasayat, former Judge,
Supreme Court of India.
