MSME AWARD
MSME Manthan 2024 is not just an event—it’s a nationwide movement to empower, uplift, and enable India’s Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to reach their full potential. Organized by the Chamber of Indian MSME, this premier platform brings together visionary entrepreneurs, financial institutions, government bodies, and industry leaders to address real-world challenges and develop sustainable, growth-driven solutions.
Now in its latest edition, MSME Manthan has evolved into a dynamic hub of innovation, networking, and thought leadership. The event focuses on key drivers of MSME transformation—access to finance, cash-flow based lending, collateral-free loans, delayed payment recovery, digital adoption, and policy-level interventions. It also presents valuable insights for startups, helping them navigate the complexities of business growth and funding.
Objective
The MSME Manthan Awards aim to celebrate, recognize, and empower outstanding Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and visionary entrepreneurs who are driving innovation, creating jobs, and contributing to India’s economic growth.
The awards go beyond recognition—they are designed to inspire and spotlight the resilience, ingenuity, and impact of MSMEs that have overcome challenges, adopted transformational practices, and set new benchmarks in business excellence.
By honoring trailblazers across diverse sectors, the MSME Manthan Awards strive to:
Encourage best practices in business innovation, financial discipline, and sustainability
Promote access to finance, digital adoption, and inclusive growth
Highlight inspiring stories of MSMEs making a difference in local and global markets
Strengthen the MSME ecosystem by fostering collaboration between entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers
Position award winners as role models for emerging and aspiring MSME entrepreneurs
The objective is not just to reward success, but to create a ripple effect of motivation and knowledge-sharing that fuels the rise of India’s next generation of MSME leaders.
