The Responsible Business Membership Organisation (BMO) Awards—an FMC initiative stands as India's first and only recognition platform for BMOs that demonstrate excellence in driving social impact and environmental responsibility within the MSME sector. Since its inception in 2015, the BMO Awards have celebrated BMOs that go beyond traditional representation and actively support their member enterprises in building cleaner, greener, digitally empowered and responsible businesses. The initiative has seen more than 1200 BMOs participate across nine editions, with around 200 BMOs participating each year in categories such as innovation, social impact and environmental responsibility.

​

This tenth edition recognises the essence of digitalising the MSME ecosystem and would endeavour to simplify the same for growth and impact, under the theme "Digitally Empowered and Sustainable MSMEs." Digital growth is nothing but a conscious push to bridge the technology divide across the enterprise value chain from onboarding to scaling up. BMOs will continue to be recognised across the three existing categories—Environment, Social and Digital Impact—where participating BMOs will stand to gain, not only with knowledge but also potential access to digital tools and FinTech solutions for their members. Marking a decade of the BMO Awards, this edition will also introduce a special 10th Anniversary Award, honouring a BMO for its sustained and outstanding contribution to the movement over the years. This will broaden the participation of BMOs and will deepen sectoral relevance of the award event, aiming to bridge the gap between MSMEs, BMOs and Technology/Financial Institutions that offer digital and sustainable solutions.
