MTEA, now in its 4^th Edition has consistently helped the transport eco-system to evolve and be recognised. The belief of the stakeholders in this initiative has solidified in the past years, and this has been ratified by the 20% increase in the entries collected. The initial conversation with the jury indicates an upsurge in the quality of entries, which is motivating.

The Expert jury, which was held on the 5^th and 6^th of December 2014, evaluated the entries sieved out after an initial scan. 27 jury members <click here for expert jury>, who are authorities from different walks of the transport business, interacted with 73 nominees. The nominees went through extensive reviews as their case studies were evaluated by the jury.

The shortlisted nominees would be put up for the final round of evaluation by the GRAND JURY, which will be held in Jan 2015. Meanwhile, the Expert Jury for Dhaba, Mechanic, Spares Retailers and Financiers category was held on the 12^th and 13^th Dec 2014, shortlisting the entries for the Grand jury.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Rajan Wadhera emphasized Mahindra’s intent and the philosophy behind MTEA, “The Awards initiative is an effort by Mahindra to help the industry stakeholders view this industry in a new light in the Transport Ecosystem that has not received enough attention. Embracing all who contribute to the ecosystem, is the foundation of these awards. Be it the next generation entrepreneur who needs that encouragement through recognition to take on his Papa Ka Business to that an unsung Driver, who seeks little dignity and respect! These awards have only got bigger and better year on year.”

The plot just got exciting. Watch this space for more.
