About Awards

In 2018, CII put into action its novel concept of providing the essential ‘Corporate Connect’ to start-ups. The concept is based on the premise that when a large corporate house adopts a start-up which is working in its own area or allied areas of business, then it results in a win-win for both. Start-ups get nurturing support – knowledge inputs – as well finances from the corporate. They develop products or services which cater to the needs of the large corporate, become part of the supply chain or devise newer technologies for better efficiency and productivity. Read more
