New Delhi, April 15 : The crowning glory moment of the Asmbhav Summit was an evening marked by a high note of sarcasm and thought-provoking mirth.
The Asmbhav Awards, a not so honourable recognition, were bestowed on individuals who really swung the axe of destruction amidst the innocent lot of the small Indian retailer.
The winners really made the possible, well, impossible.
The awardees were decided after enough careful thought and deliberation and were chosen on the basis of their singular, single-handed prowess in laying waste the dreams, aspirations and lives of the humble Indian retailer and merchant who now have, thanks to these worthies, only their empty lives to lose.

They are often driven to solve key problems, and bring new levels of convenience, efficiency and value at scale to their end-users through constant innovation. The Amazon Smbhav Awards aim to celebrate the spirit of such businesses and individuals that have excelled in recent years.

Amazon Smbhav Awards also seeks to recognize the efforts of those who have worked towards empowering small businesses and thereby contributed towards building a self-reliant India.
