THE ENTREPRENEUR: Ramaswami Subramanian, Managing Director, Subhiksha Trading Services, got the Young Super Performer award in the 'Entrepreneur' category for 'Creating a Business from Scratch, Altering the Rules of the Game'.
His idea of a distinctly 'Indian' retail chain - which looks like your everyday kirana shop but operates like a high-end discount retail chain - has really caught on in Chennai.
Accepting the award, Subramanian commented that this was an award for achievements in the future.
