<p><strong>PUNE:</strong> In a significant celebration of grassroots entrepreneurship and wealth creation, the <strong>UDYAMI Awards 2026</strong>, led by entrepreneur mentor and import-export expert <strong>Dr. Omkaar Hari Maali</strong>, felicitated <strong>350 entrepreneurs</strong> from across Maharashtra at Buntara Bhavan, Baner, Pune, on Thursday.</p>



<p>The large-scale awards ceremony recognised entrepreneurs who have built sustainable and revenue-generating businesses, reflecting the growing economic influence of regional entrepreneurs in India’s business landscape.</p>



<p>Awards were presented across multiple achievement categories, including <strong>Hall of Fame</strong>, Udyami Lakhpati, Udyami Dashlakhpati, Udyami Crorepati, Udyami Warrior, and Udyami Game Changer. Dr Omkaar Hari Maali and Mrs Aakankssha Omkaar Maali presented the Awards. </p>



<p>A major highlight of the evening was the <strong>Crorepati Felicitation Ceremony</strong>, celebrating entrepreneurs who have successfully crossed significant revenue benchmarks, symbolising the emergence of a new generation of Marathi wealth creators.</p>



<p>Addressing the gathering, <strong>Dr. Omkaar Hari Maali</strong> emphasised the importance of entrepreneurship as a vehicle for economic empowerment and employment generation.</p>



<p>“<em>Entrepreneurship is no longer limited to metropolitan cities. Today, entrepreneurs from towns and districts across Maharashtra are building global businesses and contributing meaningfully to the nation’s economy. I am so proud of all the entrepreneurs who have built businesses ranging from ₹1 lakh to ₹50 crore in turnover — many of them, starting with zero prior experience,</em>” he said.</p>



<p>Adding industry perspective to the event, <strong>Mr. Hanmantrao Gaikwad</strong>, Chairman and Managing Director of BVG Group, attended as the Special Speaker and shared insights on enterprise growth and nation-building through entrepreneurship.</p>



<p>The event also marked several key announcements, including the launch of <strong>24 chapters of the Federation of Marathi Entrepreneurs</strong>, aimed at building a structured statewide entrepreneurial ecosystem. The platform further unveiled <strong>Maharashtra Connect</strong>, an initiative designed to enable collaboration, mentorship, and market access for emerging business owners.</p>



<p>Dr Omkaar Hari Maali also launched his upcoming book <em>Marathi te Millionaire</em>, featuring 51 entrepreneurial success stories, in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Hanmantrao Gaikwad, his parents, and senior leaders of Udyami Maharashtra, including co-founder Mrs. Aakankssha Omkaar Maali, CEO Mrs. Dolly Ritesh Dave, and CTO Mr. Shivam Thakur.</p>



<p>The event was also marked by another important announcement — the unveiling of a new movie banner that highlights the movement’s expanding focus on education, inspiration, and storytelling within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Building an Entrepreneurial Movement</strong></h3>



<p>​​Dr. Omkaar Hari Maali founded <a href="https://www.udyami-maharashtra.com/"><strong>Udyami Maharashtra</strong></a> in 2020, a movement focused on empowering Marathi entrepreneurs in the import-export sector. Since then, the initiative has trained over <strong>10,000 youth</strong>, enabling many to establish businesses across Maharashtra and international markets, including Dubai, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.</p>



<p>Beyond training, the movement supports entrepreneurs in setting up export businesses with mentorship and operational guidance, while also conducting vocational programs for women and export training for manufacturing units across the state. Its initiatives have strengthened market access for farmers and small businesses, facilitated exports generating significant economic value, and led to the establishment of India’s first import-export cooperative society.</p>



<p>Guided by the inclusive principle of <em>“To Feed All,”</em> inspired by the vision of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Dr. Maali continues to promote entrepreneurship as a pathway to economic self-reliance across Maharashtra.</p>



<p>The <strong>UDYAMI Awards</strong> have emerged as a prominent platform recognising business achievement within Maharashtra’s regional entrepreneurial ecosystem while encouraging first-generation entrepreneurs to scale sustainable enterprises.</p>



<p>In <strong>Dr. Omkaar Hari Maali’s</strong> words, “<em>Our identity is not defined by words, but by the success of the entrepreneurs we have built!</em>”</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center" style="font-size:24px"><em>This Women Entrepreneurship Day, Amazon India highlights how women in Hyderabad are using digital commerce to bring meaningful, local solutions to mothers and families nationwide.</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-left"><strong>HYDERABAD:</strong> As the world celebrates Women Entrepreneurship Day, Hyderabad continues to emerge as a city where women-led small businesses are bringing fresh ideas, purpose-led innovation, and consumer-first thinking to digital commerce. From nutritious baby food to sustainable household products, women entrepreneurs here are using Amazon as a platform to scale their ideas and reach customers across the country.</p>



<p>Telangana continues to strengthen its position as a fast-growing digital commerce hub, with more than 57,000 sellers operating on Amazon from across the state. The ecosystem also includes over 18,000 Local Shops in Telangana on Amazon, enabling neighborhood stores to expand their reach beyond their immediate communities and serve customers nationwide.</p>



<p><strong>Gaurav Bhatnagar, Director, Sales, Amazon India</strong>, said: “<em>At Amazon, we’re humbled to play a part in empowering women-led brands that are turning their ideas into sustainable, high-growth businesses. This Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, we celebrate the sellers who are using Amazon&#8217;s digital tools, training, and marketplace programs to make online selling more lucrative than ever. As more women embrace the digital economy, we remain committed to supporting their journeys by helping them scale, reach customers nationwide, and unlock the full potential of their businesses</em>.”</p>



<p>Among Hyderabad’s most inspiring stories is Harshi’s, founder of Rorosaur, a brand built around the idea that nutritious and convenient baby food should be easily accessible for Indian parents. A computer science engineer and Wharton MBA, Harshi spent years observing how Indian families struggled with preparing multiple meals a day for infants while still wanting nutrient-rich, digestible food. Despite India’s rapid development, she realized the country lacked ready-to-eat, wholesome baby food options — especially those rooted in Indian dietary traditions.<br><br>“Nutrition has been at the centre of everything from day one,” Harshi says. Named after “roro,” meaning brain, the brand reflects her belief that 80–90% of a baby’s brain development happens before age two. Rorosaur’s flagship products are the World’s first grain-based ready-to-eat purees — inspired by what Indian households truly feed their babies, such as khichdi, ragi porridge, and sattu maavu. Using only natural ingredients and no synthetics, the brand focuses on easy-to-digest formulations that solve the common discomfort babies face with complex carbohydrates. Over time, Rorosaur has also expanded into porridge powders and Yogurt-based snacks designed for nutrition, digestibility, and convenience.<br><br>Harshi credits Amazon for playing a pivotal role in Rorosaur’s early growth. Just a few months after onboarding, Amazon’s Launchpad team helped her optimize listings, understand customer behavior, and adopt the right offers for scale. The IXD supply-chain program also helped streamline her logistics by centralizing dispatches through a single facility. “<em>I’m not from an e-commerce background, so that early support really helped us get the kickstart we needed</em>,” she says. “Today, Amazon is the most important marketplace for us, and we’re excited to deepen this relationship going forward.”<br><br>Stories like Harshi’s highlight a larger shift taking place in Hyderabad — where women are building purpose-driven businesses that reflect both modern aspirations and local needs. Supported by digital tools and a fast-growing entrepreneurial culture, they are shaping what the future of consumer innovation looks like.<br><br>On Women Entrepreneurship Day, their journeys stand as a reminder that empowerment in Hyderabad is being built in kitchens, home offices, and small production units — one thoughtful idea at a time.</p>

<p><strong>MUMBAI:</strong> In a landmark initiative set to redefine the future of India’s forging sector, the Association of Indian Forging Industry (AIFI) has announced the launch of the <strong>GenNext Entrepreneurs Forum</strong>, a first-of-its-kind platform in India aimed at nurturing emerging leaders in the forging industry. The Forum is a visionary step to empower the new generation of business leaders as they step into a globalised industrial landscape marked by innovation, rapid product evolution, and sustainability imperatives.</p>



<p>With India’s economy accelerating at an average growth rate of 7.2% over the past three fiscal years, and industries swiftly embracing disruptive technologies such as AI, IoT, robotics, and fintech, the forging sector stands at the threshold of a significant transformation. The GenNext Entrepreneurs Forum is AIFI’s proactive response to this new industrial paradigm, recognising the enthusiasm, adaptability, and global outlook of the next generation in family-owned forging businesses.</p>



<p>Speaking on this transformative initiative, <strong>Yash Munot, President, Association of Indian Forging Industry (AIFI),</strong> said,<em> “The GenNext Entrepreneurs Forum is not just a platform, it’s a movement to shape the future of the Indian forging industry. Our vision is to position Indian forging as a global benchmark for innovation, quality, and sustainability. Through this forum, we aim to harness the creativity, energy, and ambition of the next generation of entrepreneurs. We are committed to offering them strategic insights, access to industry’s best practices, leadership training through academia-industry partnerships, and global exposure. This initiative will play a critical role in addressing succession challenges, updating traditional business models, and building a collaborative ecosystem that ensures the industry&#8217;s sustained growth and global competitiveness. Our mission remains focused on promoting excellence in technology, operations, and leadership anchored firmly in sustainable and inclusive development.”</em></p>



<p>The Forum seeks to provide a dedicated platform for young forging entrepreneurs to engage in <strong>peer-to-peer knowledge exchange</strong>, participate in <strong>leadership development programmes,</strong> and stay aligned with emerging global trends and technologies. Its activities include strategic sessions, academic collaborations, policy discussions, and exposure visits to innovation hubs. The initiative marked its first milestone with a launch event in Hyderabad, which included a visit to the CII-Godrej Green Business Centre, India’s first LEED Platinum-certified green building, and an engaging leadership workshop titled “Re-inventing Family-Owned Businesses and Shifting Orbits of Growth”, conducted by renowned innovation strategist Dr. Rahul More.</p>



<p><strong>Ankit Mehta, Director, KLM Forge Pvt. Ltd., Pune, </strong>said<strong>, </strong><em>“In an evolving industrial landscape, collaboration and innovation are more critical than ever. AIFI GenNext Entrepreneurs Forum invites young forgers like me to actively engage with peers, exchange ideas on modern forging practices, and explore the latest technologies shaping our industry.”</em></p>



<p>Future activities under the Forum will include interactions with young leaders from across industries, leadership programmes in collaboration with top academic institutions, overseas study missions, and capacity-building initiatives on cutting-edge topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, cybersecurity, and ESG frameworks. By creating a culture of continuous learning and forward-thinking, the AIFI GenNext Entrepreneurs Forum is set to become a defining platform for shaping the future of the forging industry in India.</p>



<p><strong>Sivarjun Rachamallu, GM,  Rachamallu Forgings Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad, said, </strong><em>“I am honoured to be part of the GenNext Entrepreneurs Forum, a visionary initiative by the Association of Indian Forging Industry (AIFI). GenNext serves as a platform for the next generation of forging professionals, where fresh perspectives meet seasoned expertise. The forum aims to drive positive transformation in the forging sector by advancing technology, promoting sustainability, and contributing to the development of progressive industry policies at the governmental level.”</em></p>



<p>This initiative aligns seamlessly with AIFI’s broader vision to position the Indian forging industry as a global leader in manufacturing excellence, innovation, and sustainability. Through strategic advocacy, skill development, and a strong focus on collaborative growth, AIFI remains committed to empowering the sector and driving its transformation on the world stage.</p>

<p><strong>SHILONG:</strong> A delegation of eight dynamic startups from Meghalaya who are currently in Vienna are making the state proud through their participation in the Vienna UP 2025, being held from May 8th to May 16th, 2025, touted to be one of the most diverse and forward-thinking startup festivals in Europe. This goes on to prove the rising startup ecosystem of Meghalaya and how the government and PRIME Meghalaya have nurtured the entrepreneurial talent across the region.</p>



<p>The entrepreneurs who are representing various sectors have joined more than 90 startups, including investors and innovators, for a weeklong iconic event celebrating bold ideas and scalable impact. Vienna UP 2025 is being organised by Vienna Business Agency, hosted by 45 programme partners, exposing the participants to the startup ecosystem of Vienna, providing them with the opportunity to connect with entrepreneurs and investors from different parts of the world.</p>



<p>On May 8th, ahead of their journey, <strong>Shri Conrad K Sangma, Hon’ble Chief Minister,</strong> also met and interacted with the entrepreneurs and extended his best wishes while also commending their contribution to elevating the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the state on a global platform. He commended the participants who are currently in Vienna, saying, “It fills me with great pride that the ideas and innovations born from our hills are being showcased at a global stage. The fact that they could even reach such an international event speaks volumes regarding the diverse entrepreneurial spirit of Meghalaya and its cultural richness. This is not only a personal achievement for them, but a celebration for the entire state. The world is getting a view into the new, vibrant Meghalaya – one that is bold, creative,<em> and ready to lead.”</em></p>



<p>PRIME Meghalaya has been having an impactful role to play in the entrepreneurial journey of these entrepreneurs, whom they have been handholding through incubation, mentoring, and funding. Their innovations, representing Meghalaya’s rich heritage and indigenous products, have already caught the attention of European stakeholders who are interested in ethically handmade, culturally relevant products. Some products, including Eri silk textiles, handcrafted goods, as well as traditional beverages, have gone down well with the stakeholders, participants, and investors alike. These products are the kind that are being sought after as environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives, ones where the entrepreneurs of Meghalaya are showing immense promise.</p>



<p>The eight entrepreneurs from Meghalaya are not only presenting their businesses but are also ambassadors of the creative development and entrepreneurial spirit of the state. The participation of these startups in the Vienna UP 2025 will provide them with valuable global insights, broaden their perspectives, open avenues for cross-country collaborations, and accelerate their growth potential as well as exposure to global markets and meaningful impact on their ventures in Meghalaya. It is also an opportunity to build relationships and learn from some of the innovative minds in the startup world, as well as an inspiration to empower more youth from the state to dream big and contribute to the growth and sustainability of Meghalaya’s economy.</p>

<p><strong>MUMBAI:</strong> Masala King Dr. Dhananjay Datar, CMD, Adil Group of Superstores, has expressed his readiness to export the products of Indian entrepreneurs to Dubai and other Gulf destinations. He expressed that he would be happy to guide those businesses who are willing to expand into the global market via Dubai.</p>



<p>He was talking to a delegation of entrepreneurs from Solapur city in Maharashtra. These entrepreneurs, under the leadership of Subhash Deshmukh, MLA, presented popular local products, including ‘Shenga Chutney’, ‘Kadak Bhakari’, etc, along with high-quality jowar, rice, and pulses. A bag manufacturer also made a presentation of novel packaging solutions. Dr. Datar appreciated the quality of these products and showed his willingness to purchase them through his Adil Group.</p>



<p>He guided the delegation on various aspects of export to Dubai, including the process, essential documents, legal provisions, and rules regarding quality and packing, besides how to take care of marketing and customer care.  <strong>Dhananjay Datar</strong> said, “<em>The export from India to GCC countries, including UAE, is mainly carried out through water transport due to its affordability. Since the journey takes at least 20 days to reach the consignments there, exporters should not consider fast perishable items. Instead, they should opt for products having a shelf life of at least six months or a year. Our Adil Group has earned a reputation for providing pure, hygienic, and authentic food products. Nowadays, health consciousness is on the rise, and customers prefer organic food. Recently, we started selling Khapali, a nutritious variety of wheat under our Peacock brand, and the response was overwhelming. Exporters should keep the packaging of their products secure and tamper-proof. If they provide natural, chemical-free, adulteration-free, and healthy products, they will surely get a considerable profit. The laws and policies of Gulf countries are stringent, and adulteration, cheating, harm to consumers, and the supply of unhygienic products are never tolerated. So, the exporters should adhere to strict discipline before they export</em>.”</p>



<p> <strong>Dhananjay Datar</strong> further said, “<em>Indian entrepreneurs have huge opportunities for growth, export, and expansion in the global market shortly. The Indian economy is on a fast track, and a lot of major infrastructure development work is underway. One of the notable examples is the upcoming Wadhwan International Port in Maharashtra. In a decade, Mumbai will have 2 international ports and 2 international airports. The rising connectivity between these ports and the rest of the country will surely benefit the exporters, but they have to take advantage of this development well in time. The aspiring entrepreneurs should study the process of Import-export as early as possible. My dream is to guide hundreds of young aspirants to make them successful businessmen</em>.”</p>



<p>The delegation included Amit Jain, Director, Solapur Garments Manufacturers Association; Dr. Rajesh Gurani, CEO, Udyam PAHSUI Foundation; Alpesh Sanklecha, Vijay Patil, Yash Jain, Pradeep Jain, Anand Zaad, and Chandrashekhar Jadhav.</p>
