In March 2026, mTouch Labs Pvt Ltd a Hyderabad-based full-stack software company was named a Winner in the Digital Transformation Catalyst category at the NASSCOM SME Inspire Awards 2026 in Mumbai.
For developers and tech builders who care about where the Indian software ecosystem is heading, this one's worth unpacking.
Quick Context - What Is the NASSCOM SME Inspire Award?
The NASSCOM SME Inspire Awards are now in their 4th edition, organised by the NASSCOM SME Council. It recognises India's most impactful small and medium tech enterprises across 22 categories in two revenue segments:
The Rising Stars - ₹0 to ₹20 Cr.
The Scalers - ₹20 Cr. to ₹250 Cr.
This isn't a pay-to-play award. It's peer-reviewed, judged on real outcomes, and genuinely competitive across India's B2B tech landscape.

The AI Angle: Why Timing Matters
The NASSCOM event theme "The Reset" wasn't coincidental.
2025–2026 has been a turning point for software delivery. AI is no longer a feature to ship; it's becoming the foundation of how software gets built, tested, and maintained.
mTouch Labs' core positioning around AI & automation as a primary service line puts them squarely in the companies that are adapting, not reacting. Winning a Digital Transformation Catalyst award in this climate says something real about how they're delivering for clients.
Why This Should Matter to Developers
Here's the honest take:
Most developers working at or with Indian SMEs rarely see that work gets recognised on a national stage. Large IT brands absorb the spotlight. But the actual innovation, the scrappy, fast, outcome-driven builds often happen in companies exactly like mTouch Labs.
This award is a signal that the ecosystem is catching up to the reality on the ground. India's SME tech sector isn't a support act anymore. It's where a significant chunk of real digital transformation work is actually happening.
