Hyphen SCS Wins India’s Top Startup Award for Infrastructure

Honoured, humbled, and deeply grateful to share that Hyphen SCS has won India’s Biggest Startup Award– Visionary Award for Infrastructure Excellence at the National Startup Awards 5.0 at the National Startup Day

The awards were graced by our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji as Chief Guest, and the award was presented by Shri Piyush Goyal ji, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India

The Award recognises startups demonstrating outstanding work across infrastructure —ventures that form the backbone of efficient, safe, and sustainable urban development.

Over 3,200+ startups from all States and Union Territories applied for just 20 national awards, organised by Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade & Startup India, under the leadership of Shri Amardeep Singh Bhatia and Shri Sanjiv Singh , and moderated by Deloitte.

We have been fortunate to receive recognitions such as the The Wharton School India Startup Challenge, South Asia ICT Award, YourStory Media Tech30, TiE TGS 100, and more—nothing compares to the honour and emotion of winning India’s National Startup Award.

The ceremony brought together 4,000+ stakeholders, including startup founders, VCs, incubators, and ecosystem leaders such as Aman Gupta , Ritesh Agarwal, and Mohit Yadav.

We were proud finalists in two categories—Supply Chain & Infrastructure, and deeply honoured to win the Infrastructure Award.

Equally special: We are the only startup from Uttar Pradesh to receive this recognition.
Heartfelt thanks to CM Shri Yogi Adityanath ji Chief Minister Office, Uttar Pradesh, for building a vibrant and enabling startup ecosystem.

Being from Himachal Pradesh, it was also a proud moment to see HP named ‘Top Performer’ in the States Startup Ranking.

This win belongs to my co-founder Pauneet Nanda, our core team,Shivangi Kaushik, Prikshit Verma, Kumar Swaraj, and every single member of Team Hyphen SCS—for the blood, sweat, belief, and relentless execution behind this journey.

Grateful to our investors, especially Javier Guardo sir, who believed in us from day one and has been our constant North Star.

To family, mentors, accelerators, clients, partners, and all of you who supported us when it mattered most—thank you.
You’ll never know how much fuel that gave us.

Deep gratitude as well to my alma maters Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Giani Zail Singh College of Engineering & Technology, Bathinda , Sainik School Sujanpur Tira, and St. Mary’s—for instilling an attitude of pursuit of excellence in my DNA.

Proud—but even more ignited.

Our vision:
Make in India. Build for the world.

So that one day, when startups pitch to VCs, they say—
“We want to build the Hyphen of our country”

From India to the world 🇮🇳🌍

Jai Hind
Jai Bharat🇮🇳
