KASSIA/FD/2025 8th October, 2025
All Members:
Dear Sir,
Sub: KASSIA MSME Awards 2025 – Applications Invited from Members
We have the pleasure to inform you that KASSIA will be celebrating its Founder’s Day on 29th November 2025 at the KASSIA Auditorium, in memory of Late Sri R.S. Aradhya — a freedom fighter, scholar, and multi-faceted entrepreneur.
Late Sri Aradhya inspired and led the entrepreneurial community to come together and form the Karnataka Small Scale Industries Association (KASSIA) in 1949, in the post-independence era, with just seven members. Through his hard work and dedicated service for over 18 years, he transformed KASSIA into a strong and widely respected institution representing the voice of small-scale industries.
The Founder’s Day Celebration is held in conjunction with the Padmasri K.L. Nanjappa Memorial Lecture, instituted in honour of the doyen of India’s small-scale industry revolution, who laid the foundation for entrepreneurship growth in the country, particularly in the MSME sector.
On this occasion, KASSIA will confer the MSME Awards-2025 among our esteemed KASSIA Members in recognition of their significant contributions to the development and promotion of industry in the country.
We are pleased to enclose the Application Form for the awards. The duly filled-in form, along with all necessary enclosures, may be sent in a sealed cover to KASSIA on or before 5th November 2025 for consideration by an independent jury that will finalize the awardees.
The application form may also be downloaded from our website www.kassia.org.in or collected directly from the KASSIA Office.

We request all eligible members to make use of this opportunity and be part of this prestigious event.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully
