Indore: Mr. Anand Kadam, Founder of Harsh Enterprises, was felicitated with the Business Excellence Award at the India–Latin America & Caribbean (LAC) Trade & Investment Forum 2026 held in Indore.

The award was presented by Alberto A. Guani, Ambassador of Uruguay to India and Head of GRULAC, in recognition of Mr. Kadam’s contribution to business and entrepreneurship.

Invited as a Special Guest, Mr. Kadam participated in the forum alongside diplomats, industry leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs from India and the Latin American & Caribbean region. The event focused on strengthening trade, investment, and business cooperation between the participating countries.

The forum was organised to deepen economic and diplomatic ties between India and the Latin America & Caribbean region, with discussions centred on emerging trade corridors, ease-of-business reforms, and avenues for cross-border collaboration in sectors such as manufacturing, technology, and services. Industry representatives from both regions used the platform to explore joint ventures and long-term partnerships, underscoring the growing economic relevance of India’s Tier-2 business hubs in shaping these ties.

Under Mr. Kadam’s leadership, Harsh Enterprises has built a reputation within Indore’s business community for consistency and a commitment to quality, attributes that featured among the considerations behind the award. Mr. Kadam has been a vocal advocate for stronger international trade linkages for businesses based in Madhya Pradesh, a theme that resonated closely with the forum’s broader objectives of expanding India’s commercial footprint across the LAC region.

Organisers of the forum noted that recognitions such as the Business Excellence Award are intended to spotlight entrepreneurs who exemplify the spirit of cross-border collaboration, with the hope of encouraging greater participation from Tier-2 cities like Indore in future editions of the India–LAC Forum.

The recognition highlights Mr. Kadam’s commitment to business excellence and entrepreneurial growth.
