LoT Awards & Conclave celebrates India's most enterprising MSME, SME, Startups and Entrepreneurs for their leadership, innovation and uniqueness. Visionaries, gurus, policymakers, business icons, domain experts, next-gen entrepreneurs and disruptors converge at the Conclave to discuss the best path ahead for the ecosystem.
The deliberations are deep, the diversity of the jury ensure that the discussions come from various viewpoints all of which get included and all which also make our choices very difficult.
I believe India’s young entrepreneurs are going to be pillars of India’s socio-economic growth.
What I saw was that entrepreneurs are ready to go, they keep on innovation and they know how to run their business
There has never been a better time for Indian entrepreneurs, with the availability of capital and talent, the startup eco-system today has the required infrastructure to flourish and nurture great companies over the next few decades
It was good to see the innovative work, enthusiasm and willingness to scale, the passion was very evident.
India's entrepreneurial landscape is dynamic and presents excellent growth opportunities. The resilience of SMEs and MSMEs was remarkable, and we saw the startups leverage innovation and out-of-the-box solutions. I believe that Indian entrepreneurs will continue to strive and thrive by formalizing their businesses and adoption of technology and play a crucial role in the future of our country
