HUTCH marked a significant milestone in its journey with its one-of-a-kind employee recognition event for the year ended 2025. At the heart of the Pinnacle Awards was the company’s emphasis on recognizing cross-functional collaborative teamwork, shifting away from the traditional norms of departmental team silos and individual recognition.
The glamorous celebration, held at the prestigious Monarch Imperial, renowned for hosting some of the country’s finest events, brought employees and leadership from across the organization to honour the people whose dedication and impact shaped HUTCH’s extraordinary growth in 2025.
HUTCH has been on a dynamic path of growth, challenging the industry status quo. The company has been turning the tables on organizational culture, sparking innovation, cross-collaboration, collective performance, empowerment, organization-wide resilience, and employee fulfilment. As a result, the company has been recording double-digit growth consecutively each year, over the last three years, the only telecom operator to do so.
The event recognized an array of interesting awards, ranging from Innovation, Process Enhancement, Execution, Unity, Customer Impact, Digital Transformation, Culture Impact, Value Creation, and Best Project. A highlight award was the New Horizon Award, recognizing the team that opened new opportunities beyond the company’s regular core, demonstrating long-range thinking and courage to drive new avenues. Nominations were open to all staff, and finalists were determined through a transparent judging process, ensuring inclusivity and credibility.
Beyond recognition, the evening was a celebration of unity, pride, and the diverse talents that make up the HUTCH community. The event featured vibrant entertainment segments and opportunities for teams to showcase their own creative talents beyond their professional roles, embracing an atmosphere that blended achievement with celebration. The Pinnacle Awards served as a moment for colleagues to connect, reflect on shared milestones, and celebrate the collective progress that defines HUTCH’s culture.
Commenting on the event, Saumitra Gupta, Chief Executive Officer of HUTCH stated, “The HUTCH Pinnacle Awards represent more than recognition; they reflect our belief that our people are the driving force behind our success. By celebrating all those who go above and beyond, we are reinforcing a culture where excellence is valued, performance is appreciated, and every contribution is acknowledged. Our people have made a turnaround making us all proud, but the pride should not result in comfort; but rather fuel ambition and hunger for greater success.”
HUTCH in 2025 was recognized for the ‘Great HR Awards’ and ‘Best Employer Brands’. The evolving initiatives of HUTCH in people excellence reinforce its commitment that is deeply rooted in its Global Fortune 500 parent – CK Hutchison Holdings sustainability goals.
