New Delhi , 2/11/2022 ( Odisha Samachar )- After the rousing reception Dare to Dream Awards received from homegrown enterprises in 2021, SAP and TV9 Network are back with the 2022 edition of India’s biggest entrepreneurial platform to acknowledge the Pioneers of New India.
As India celebrates 75 years of independence and plans its journey of the next 25 years to emerge as a global leader, business pioneers have been and will be the guiding light in realizing this ambition.
And the prestigious Dare to Dream Awards this year will celebrate these business stalwarts who are leading India’s charge toward becoming a developed nation by 2047. It captures the resolute entrepreneurial journey of these outstanding SME entities to embrace digital-first culture for innovation and growth that help India take giant strides towards transforming itself into the First World.
Commenting on the awards, Kulmeet Bawa, President & Managing Director, SAP Indian Subcontinent, said, “SAP’s journey in India has always been aligned with nation-building programmes that have had a significant impact on over 300 million Indians. We have always believed in the combined strength of India’s mid-market and have promoted their development, whether it is serving as the technology partner to develop a workforce of the future, being a trusted advisor to the SME community, or boosting the nation’s innovation ecosystem. This programme aims to recognize and honour all business heroes leading us towards the development of the New India.”
The awards also seek to acknowledge business bravehearts, who have continued to thrive even in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments that keep throwing surprises at them, especially when economies across the globe are facing strong headwinds.
Talking about TV9 Network’s commitment towards the India SME ecosystem, Raktim Das, Chief Growth Officer, TV9 Network, said: “SAP and TV9 Network stay invested in the idea of recognising SMEs to eventually help fully leverage their potential for the India growth story. India has emerged as the only bright spot in an otherwise faltering international economy. And SMEs have a huge role to play in insulating us from global shocks. And that’s why it’s critical to acknowledge our homegrown businesses. Dare To Dream Awards is a tribute to all those visionary business leaders who have demonstrated innovation and a digital mindset converting adversity into advantage. And we are happy to continue to be a part of this exciting journey with SAP.”
Rajeev Singh, Vice-President, Midmarket and Emerging Business, SAP Indian Subcontinent, added, “Indian MSMEs and its business leaders hold power to transform not just India’s economy but also the lives of billions of Indians. They account for 27% of the total contribution to India’s GDP, with considerable headroom for growth. As we celebrate 75 years of India’s independence, we are gearing up the journey of the next 75 years that is being shaped by pioneers of the new India.”
