1) Ajay Sahai, Director General and CEO, Federation of Indian Export Organisation
“Since we are looking to become a developed country by 2047, we have to make our economy more inclusive. [In that context], small businesses play a very important role. It’s so nice of ET to have gone to the length and breadth of the country to identify such players. It will go a long way in encouraging more MSMEs to come forward and help the economy.”
2) Lubeina Shahpurwala, Co-founder, Mustang Enterprises (Winner, Clothing & Apparel MSME of the Year)
“This recognition gives us so much motivation for what we want to do. This now puts more wind beneath our wings so we work to make our place in the international mkt. That’s what our goal is: to be recognised internationally.”
3) rProcess Outsourcing Services Pvt Ltd (Winner, Indian MSME Women Entrepreneur, Small)
“This award is a great recognition of the hard work of a 1,000-odd people. We have a majority of rural people and women in our workforce. They aren’t just doing their daily jobs, but also creating global impact. [This accolade] is testament to that… it gives us so much energy to grow further and give back to society.”4)Akshay Purohit, COO, Neptunus Power Plant (Winner, Top Innovative MSME, Medium
“A lot of SMEs work in different corners of the country and don’t often get recognised. It’s also hard to build and sustain a business, so it’s great to be recognised by one of India’s most prestigious platforms, the ET MSME Awards.”5) Nidhi Bhasin, CEO, NASSCOM Foundation
“The ET MSME Awards was an amazing event. Acknowledging innovation in technology was the high point, and I came across many stories and experiences where one felt motivated about the future of the country being bright.”
6) Vikas Singh Chauhan, VP, Hometextile Exporters Welfare Association
“This event is very important because the MSME sector rarely gets the due recognition it needs for exposure. The ET MSME Awards is a very good platform. When we get an award, it gives us a boost and motivation to do better.”
