Business award news usually sounds little formal,but this one from Mumbai actually says something interesting about how consulting is changing for Indian businesses . D&M Business Consultancy got recognized at HT Media Presents Crafting Bharat Business Conclave & Awards 2026,and honestly,that is not small thing ah.
The event was held on June 12 at ITC Grand Central in Mumbai . D&M Business Consultancy received Excellence in Business Consulting and Leadership Development award for its work with micro,small,and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and organizations.
Award was presented to Drishti Malasi on behalf of Subodh Malasi,the founder and director of D&M,by renowned actress Chitrangada Singh . For any founder,seeing company name being called on such platform must feel like one big validation moment.
And what stands out here is not just award itself,but reason behind it . D&M Business Consultancy has built its reputation around not stopping at advice only. Many consultants give strategy documents and then business owner is left wondering what to do next . Here,the focus is also on hands-on implementation support .
Their proprietary Consulting + Execution (COEX) Model is basically built around that same idea . Strategy plus execution. Simple sounding,but in real business,this gap between planning and actual results is where many companies struggle badly.
Few key things from this recognition:
- D&M Business Consultancy was awarded Excellence in Business Consulting and Leadership Development award .
- Consulting + Execution (COEX) Model combines strategic advisory services with hands-on implementation support .
- Firm has delivered over 27,000 consulting hours and more than 1,500 consulting man-days,while advising businesses with combined turnover exceeding ₹1,000 crore.
Subodh Malasi founded D&M after over 16 years of corporate experience . And tbh,that background probably matters because corporate planning and ground execution are two very different worlds. Bridging that gap is easier said than done.
The company says its work is around helping organizations convert ideas into actionable outcomes,while also building sustainable growth and high-performance cultures . Sounds like big words,but for MSMEs especially,this can mean very practical things like better systems,clearer processes and less chaos in daily operations .
After award ceremony,Subodh Malasi expressed gratitude for recognition and dedicated award to firm’s clients and team members . He also said this achievement reflects D&M's commitment to creating meaningful impacts through consulting that delivers measurable outcomes.
And as India’s entrepreneurship space keeps changing so fast,question is how many more businesses will start expecting consultants to not just suggest plans,but stay till execution also…
