The scores are in, judging is complete, and we are delighted to announce the finalists of the 2024 India & South Asia Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs).
Commenting on the awards, founder of the OSPAs, Professor Martin Gill said: “This year we have seen an incredible rise in the number and quality of entries received. The OSPAs were held physically for the first time in India last year after 2 virtual events, and it is humbling to see how the security sector has embraced these independent awards to recognise professionalism and excellence, and I am very much looking forward to celebrating with all the finalists in New Delhi on 14th March 2024”
An exciting new development for this year’s awards is that winners from all categories (except Lifetime Achievement) of the 2024 India & South Asia OSPAs will be featured in the 1st Global OSPAs set to take place in 2025! Winners will automatically qualify for the global competition.
The winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award will be inducted into the newly launched Security Hall of Fame. Learn more about this here.
