Jagran HiTech Awards 2025: Meet The Industry Experts Picking The Year’s Best In Tech And Mobility

We live in an age of technology, and we are at a juncture in time where India has a rich population base, with the majority of it being young, which is essential when it comes to growth and innovation in technology. New product launches and innovative technologies are now a daily reality, and young people have easier access to them than ever before, and with that, the scope to explore further has also expanded, with new technological breakthroughs like artificial intelligence, data science, cloud computing and cyber security becoming popular ventures amongst the youth.

Today’s generation is naturally tech-savvy. They’ve lived with technology from day one, embrace rapid change, and love trying new things. Whether it’s the latest car, bike, or cutting-edge device, they constantly want fresh experiences and new tech to explore. In short, the youth today interacts with technology way more than ever before.

This high-spirited exchange of thoughts, innovation, ideas and inventions is carried out through the year with various products and technologies making their way to us in the form of a mobile, tablet, car, bike or even a gaming console that you might have had your eyes on. We are here to commemorate them at the Jagran HiTech Awards 2025, where you might even get to see your category win a prize as well. On November 24th, we will take a look at the industry's best tech and auto products that our judges have concluded upon after a tireless number of hours poured into the work.

Mobile and Mobility are key in today's day and age, and therefore we have technologies constantly evolving in this space. Truly understanding them requires people who live deep inside these ecosystems — the experts. This includes tech journalists and well-known industry leaders who can accurately judge products, technology, innovation and the overall user experience. Here we have a jury that satisfies the above very effectively, so let’s take a look at them one by one.
