Indore: Indore’s growing reputation as a startup powerhouse was once again highlighted at the Orbisys Startup Awards 2026, where 50 emerging startups and visionary founders were honoured for their innovation, resilience, and entrepreneurial impact.
The event showcased not just ideas, but the journey of experimentation, risk-taking, and persistence that defines the startup ecosystem. In a unique presentation format, over 100 startups were introduced through a “runway-style ramp walk,” symbolising innovation as the new identity of central India’s business landscape.
The initiative was led by Prabhat Agarwal, Founder of Orbisys Global Private Limited, along with Directors Pooja Mogel, Ritu Agarwal, Prakash Agarwal, and Shubham Patidar, who played key roles in making the event a success. AIS Signature participated as the official power partner, further strengthening the regional startup ecosystem.
A major highlight of the event was a special talk show conducted in collaboration with PR 24×7, focusing on perception building and brand presence. The session underlined how storytelling and public image are as important as product innovation for startup growth.
The discussion featured PR 24×7 CEO Neha Gaur along with prominent entrepreneurs including Narendra Sen (NivCloud and Rackbank), Pushpendra Agarwal (ViyaSocket and Walkover), and Himanshu Chaturvedi (MotionGility), who shared insights on building strong and sustainable brands.
Speaking at the event, Neha Gaur emphasized, “A startup’s story is its strongest asset in the early stages. Public relations is not just visibility—it is the foundation of trust that sustains a brand even in challenging times. Congratulations to all the winners.”
Highlighting the vision behind the initiative, Prabhat Agarwal said, “Our goal is not just to felicitate startups, but to create a platform where local entrepreneurs receive the recognition they truly deserve. Through the runway concept, we aim to showcase that innovation is now the new identity of central India.”
