The Calcutta Management Association held its maiden MSME Conclave and Awards Ceremony, in association with t2, at HHI on January 19. The event honoured and felicitated pioneers of the manufacturing and services sector, and saw the presence of MSMEs from 10 eastern states of India — West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Arunachal Pradesh, and Tripura. Divided into five different categories — Best Employer, Innovation Excellence, Best Social Impact, Environmental Sustainability, and Digital Prowess at the Workplace — the awards were meant to recognise and celebrate the diverse strengths and contributions of MSMEs in various aspects of business excellence and societal impact.
G.M. Kapur, president, CMA, said, “The CMA wants to help MSMEs develop and grow, and we can provide a platform for them to access training in whatever fields they require. We have all the necessary inputs to provide them with wherever knowledge is concerned. Like our motto, we want to ‘profit the mind’.”
Indranil Banerjee, vice president, CMA, added: “This is the maiden instalment of the MSME Awards, but we look forward to making this a regular event in the future.”
