The BMA Startup Best 5 Awards was conceptualized with a deep focus on ensuring a clutter-free summit focused on gathering high-end entrepreneurship knowledge from two categories of people – customers and entrepreneurs.

As people who’ve attended numerous entrepreneurship conferences, we feel that panel discussions are often unstructured and fail to deliver on the mission of sharing relevant knowledge with the audience. Instead, it becomes too much focused on networking and the content itself takes less priority.

Hence, at The BMA Startup Best 5 Awards, we’re adopting a content-first approach. The idea is, irrespective of the sector one operates in, there is potential to learn from peers, the fundamentals of building a long-term business.

The BMA Startup Best 5 Awards aims to reward, recognize and honour entrepreneurs who’ve started up within the last five years (after April 2013) and have built wonderful businesses that make all their key stakeholders – customers, shareholders and employees – proud.

If you believe, your venture has done a wonderful job of building and scaling a venture, nominate yourself to the BMA Startup Best 5 Awards .

Your company will be evaluated by an established jury (to be announced shortly) of renowned business leaders, entrepreneurs and investors based on eight criteria

1. Originality of idea
2. Innovation of business model
3. The long term potential
4. Revenue/profit and revenue/profit growth
5. Employee satisfaction
6. Customer satisfaction
7. Brand
8. Social impact

The weightage for each criteria and the overall methodology will be updated in this space shortly.

The best 5 startups that make it to the list will become a cohort of sorts, and the founders of these companies will be given the privilege of attending a BMA learning session with two extremely respected leaders – one a leading Indian senior industry statesman and another a CEO of a leading company. And efforts will be taken to ensure this is a award you’ll be proud off.
