Overview

It was less than a year ago that Dell Technologies, in collaboration with Moneycontrol and CNBC TV-18 launched, The Challengers, a campaign to enable Small Businesses (SBs) to re-imagine their enterprises through a digital lens to develop business agility, build resilience and internalise innovation.

We came across several inspiring stories of IT innovators who challenged everything and stopped at nothing to delight their customers, more so during the last two years. With technological and digital prowess, they managed to compress a decade’s worth of changes to trigger unexpected growth. Far from letting the business slip into oblivion, they re-invented it by deploying digital tools and turned the tide against market upheavals.

They have deservedly earned our admiration. And we at Dell Technologies, want to concretise this admiration into solid recognition. Hence, in collaboration with Moneycontrol, CNBC TV18, we have launched THE CHALLENGERS AWARDS – Lauding Exemplary IT innovators in Small Businesses along with our Process Advisors Ernst & Young.A first of its kind, these awards will recognise the IT heroes and their teams, who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to secure a stable footing for their businesses. They are the Challengers, who will #StopAtNothing and rise up to a challenge, anytime!
