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.
