India’s most competitive technology MSME recognition went to Fortmindz in 2024 — the Nasscom SME Inspire Award for Delivery Excellence in Tech Services. For a company founded in 2022, winning a national award from Nasscom, the apex body of India’s IT industry, just two years into operations is not routine. It is the kind of external validation that no marketing budget can buy.
The Nasscom SME Inspire Award 2024 was held across Chennai and Delhi, bringing together India’s best technology SMEs for evaluation by an independent jury. Here is what the award means, how Fortmindz earned it, and what it signals to businesses evaluating Fortmindz as a product engineering partner.
The Nasscom SME Inspire Award is one of the most rigorous recognition programmes for technology companies in India. It is not a participation award — it is a structured evaluation by an independent jury.
Run by the Nasscom SME Council, it celebrates Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the technology sector that demonstrate stellar business growth, exceptional delivery capability, innovation and best-in-class workplace practices. The 2024 edition was held in Chennai and Delhi — two of India’s most competitive technology hubs — with winners evaluated against hundreds of applicants across India’s full tech MSME ecosystem.
The Delivery Excellence in Tech Services category — which Fortmindz won — is evaluated specifically on actual delivery outcomes: on-time project completion, client satisfaction, quality processes and the ability to consistently exceed client expectations across complex, real-world technology engagements.
Most technology award categories recognise growth, innovation or workplace culture. Delivery Excellence recognises one thing: whether a company actually delivers what it promises, to the standard it promises, on the timeline it promises.
That is the question every business asks before signing with a product engineering partner. Not “are they innovative?” — but “will they ship?” The Nasscom SME Inspire Award 2024 for Delivery Excellence answers that question with an independent, jury-verified yes.
For Fortmindz, this recognition reflects what has been built operationally since 2022:
Nasscom’s evaluation process involves preliminary eligibility checks, detailed evaluation against defined parameters by knowledge partner Grant Thornton Bharat, shortlisting and a jury presentation round before winners are announced.
What the jury found in Fortmindz was a company that had built delivery excellence into its operating model from day one:
The software services industry has a trust problem. Every agency describes itself as high-quality and delivery-excellent. Nasscom’s independent evaluation cuts through this noise.
When Nasscom — the body that shapes India’s national IT policy and represents 3,000+ member companies — recognises a company for delivery excellence, it is a verifiable credential. Not a testimonial, not a case study, but a third-party evaluation of actual project outcomes by the most credible evaluator in India’s technology industry.
“Winning the Nasscom SME Inspire Award two years into Fortmindz’s journey tells us the conviction we started with was right — that a product engineering company built on quality discipline, honest timelines and genuine technical depth could earn national recognition quickly. This award belongs to every engineer, designer and QA professional on our team who ships with care every single day.” — Aniruddh Bhattacharya, Co-Founder, Fortmindz
The Nasscom SME Inspire Award 2024 for Delivery Excellence in Tech Services is the most credible third-party validation Fortmindz has received. It confirms that what is delivered for clients is not just good by Fortmindz’s own measure — it is excellent by the standard of India’s most rigorous technology industry evaluation.
