Retailers Association of India (RAI), the unified voice of retailers in India, is happy to present the 6th edition of Retail Startup Awards.
RAI Retail Startup Awards have been instituted to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship.
It is a recognition of the indomitable spirit that drives entrepreneurs to convert their dreams into realities and ideas into viable business. With their out-of-the box solutions, start-ups are changing not just the world of business, but also our lifestyles.
The awards, therefore, are an acknowledgement of this contribution and a salute to the spirit that makes it possible. Today, the awards are considered a beacon that inspire new entrepreneurs to dream, dare and innovate.
After a rigorous evaluation process, the awards are given away on the evening of the first day of the Retail Leadership Summit.
