Every big change starts small, with an idea, a dream, or the courage to do things differently. The Tally MSME Honours, now in its fifth year, once again shone a spotlight on these stories of resilience, innovation, and community impact from India’s vibrant MSME sector.
This year, we received an overwhelming 15,000+ nominations from MSMEs across the country, spanning manufacturing, services, social enterprises, and tech-driven startups. A heartfelt thank you goes to our partners who played a crucial role in driving this response:
- Tirumula Infotech (East) – 70 nominations
- Prajapati Computers (West) – 31 nominations
- National Computer Training Centre (North) – 105 nominations
- RK Computer (South) – 63 nominations
After a rigorous jury process, 175 MSME champions were felicitated across 7 cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jaipur, Chennai, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad.
Stories Beyond Metros
While the metros showcased scale and innovation, what made this edition truly special were the voices from India’s Tier 3 and Tier 4 towns. Entrepreneurs from places like Jorhat (Assam), Barmer (Rajasthan), Palakkad (Kerala), and Dhamtari (Chhattisgarh) shared journeys that were as inspiring as they were impactful, proving that ambition and innovation know no boundaries.
Digital Reach, Social Impact
The campaign also embraced a strong digital-first approach, engaging millions through reels, interviews, and stories that humanised each entrepreneur’s journey. With Kotak Mahindra Bank as sponsor and Hindustan Times & Mint as media partners, the initiative reached new heights of visibility and credibility.
More Than Awards
What makes the Tally MSME Honours 2025 stand out is its commitment to celebrating more than just financial milestones. Winners were recognised for resilience, innovation, community impact, and green practices, qualities that truly define the spirit of today’s MSME landscape.
As India continues to emerge as a global startup and manufacturing hub, the MSMEs remain its backbone. Through Tally MSME Honours, we reaffirm our commitment to celebrating their contributions and amplifying their stories of growth and grit.
