Kem Krest CEO Amish Shah Named Among Indiana’s Most Influential Hoosiers by IBJ Media ELKHART, IN (July 17, 2024) – Kem Krest CEO, Amish Shah, has been named to IBJ Media’s prestigious Indiana 250 list. This annual list honors the state’s most influential and impactful business and community leaders, representing a wide range of industries and organizations.

Amish Shah’s inclusion in the Indiana 250 highlights his contributions and leadership within both Kem Krest and the broader Indiana community. This recognition underscores the dynamic and evolving leadership that is driving positive change throughout the state.

“It’s the people that make Indiana what it is – a thriving state that keeps moving forward. I’m so grateful that IBJ has taken the initiative to recognize some of the most influential leaders in our state, and I’m beyond humbled and honored to be amongst those that were recognized. Behind each of these great leaders is a team that supports and inspires them, helping them carry out their vision. I not only congratulate all those that have been recognized, but also thank the many others that continue to make Indiana a great state to live, work, play and thrive!” says Shah.

The Indiana 250 list, available at Indiana250.com, was compiled by the executives, editors, and newsroom staff of IBJ Media’s three news brands — Indianapolis Business Journal, Inside INdiana Business, and Indiana Lawyer. The rigorous months-long selection process included reviewing nominations, researching Indiana organizations, and consulting with community leaders across the state.

“It’s hard to choose just 250 people from among the thousands who work every day to make Indiana a better place to live and to work,” said IBJ Media CEO Nate Feltman. “But we believe the people on the Indiana 250 list are especially worthy of distinction. They are thinking big and driving change.”

IBJ Media initiated the Indiana 250 program in 2022, with plans to update the list annually. “Creating this list is always inspiring because the people on it have so much passion for our communities and our state,” Feltman added. “One of our goals with the list is to recognize people from across Indiana and from diverse industries and then make connections among them for the betterment of all Hoosiers.”
