We are also looking forward to further growth for the sector within India given the budget allocation for MSMEs nearly doubling this financial year to Rs. 15,700 crores. The impetus added to incremental innovation in manufacturing and more so to the Pharmaceutical industry - which is a strong hold of Hyderabad is undeniable.

SMEs play a very important role in the India growth story and employ more than 40% of India's work force. As an organisation, with our continued focus on enhanced performance with excellence for delivery, respect for environment, integrity for service and resourcefulness for growth, we hope to add a little more to the growth story for India as a global manufacturing hub and as contributors of more employment and skill requirement generators. We are extremely thankful to the India SME forum for this recognition of our hard work."
