Pune | April 2025: The ‘Maharashtra Udyog Gaurav Awards 2025’ ceremony was successfully held on April 20, 2025, at Hinjawadi, Pune. The event recognized entrepreneurs from across Maharashtra for their outstanding contributions in various industrial and business sectors. The program was organized by KPM Media.
The entire responsibility for the event was shouldered by three dynamic young leaders – Mr. Pranav Ravindra Kende, Mr. Mahesh Mohan Vyavahare, and Mr. Kartik Borkar.
Former Mahabaleshwar Municipal Councillor Mr. Santosh (Aaba) Shinde graced the event as the chief guest.
Over 70 entrepreneurs from Pune and surrounding areas were honored for their exemplary work in their respective fields. The awardees represented industries such as construction, journalism, electricals, beauty, education, tourism, food processing, information technology, and agri-processing.
The awards were presented by celebrated film actress Sonali Kulkarni.
Speaking at the event, Sonali Kulkarni said, “It’s truly commendable that three young individuals have organized an event of this scale. As artists, we work for audiences and the box office, but when such efforts are recognized through awards, it brings immense joy. I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all the entrepreneurs.”
Former Councillor Santosh (Aaba) Shinde remarked, “This initiative by three young men is praiseworthy. The event was a grand success, and I am confident that whatever endeavors they take up in the future will be accomplished with the same excellence. KPM Media should rise to such heights that the name ‘KPM’ becomes synonymous with media itself.”
Speakers at the ceremony noted, “Today’s entrepreneur is not just a business owner but a pillar of society, playing a vital role in the nation’s progress.” The event was anchored smoothly and effectively by the organizers.
Dignitaries from various fields attended the event. Entrepreneurs engaged in networking and discussed new business opportunities.
