Indian SMEs have long been the unsung heroes of our nation's economy, quietly but profoundly shaping our growth story. SMEs account for a staggering 95% of industrial units in the country, fostering economic growth, generating jobs for over 110 million Indians, and contributing significantly to our GDP. Many have even taken their success global, boosting India's export earnings and global trade standing. Yet, their remarkable contributions often remain hidden in the shadows. The SME Champion Awards initiative is set to change that, embarking on a six-month journey to mobilize the SME community, leverage the expertise of a seasoned jury, and ultimately celebrate the remarkable achievements of Indian SMEs.

These awards commence with a series of knowledge sessions to further help the Indian SMEs expand their growth horizon and wrap up with a finale celebrating the enduring determination, pioneering spirit, and resilience that defines the Indian SMEs, ultimately strengthening the backbone of our nation's economy.
