The Story in Brief
Coimbatore-based industrialist Nandini Rangaswamy, managing director of Chandra Group, received the award under the Business and Education category at the Sakthi Masala’s SuyaSakthi Virudhugal, Homepreneur Awards 2026 in Chennai on Sunday. Several others were honoured in categories such as arts and culture, social welfare, education, and home retail.
The winners were selected through a two-stage evaluation process. Applications were first shortlisted by the Centre for Research, Entrepreneurship & Social Technology (CREST) at IIT Madras based on business viability, social impact, and entrepreneurial potential. A 25-member expert jury then chose the final winners across nine categories.
The Indian Opinion
Awards like this often play up the 'homepreneur' narrative as a feel-good trend, but the involvement of IIT Madras’s CREST and a 25-member jury shows a genuine effort to pick viable businesses, not just stories. The real test will be whether winners like Nandini Rangaswamy can report measurable growth in revenue or employment a year from now. That number will separate celebration from substance.
