Entrepreneur Business Times Champions India’s Small Giants with “Next Door Tycoons” – A Spotlight on Local Heroes & SMEs


Entrepreneur Business Times, India’s premier digital business magazine, is proud to announce a dedicated spotlight on India’s most spirited small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in its debut edition. This special segment, titled “Next Door Tycoons”, will celebrate the grit, grind, and growth of the real industrialists of India — the local legends who are making waves across manufacturing, retail, trade, and innovation.

With the Entrepreneur Business Times monthly digital magazine for entrepreneurs launching soon, this curated section will uncover untold success stories of MSMEs and SME founders who’ve built sustainable, impactful ventures — often without headlines, but never without hustle.

A Big Stage for Small Giants

In a country where over 60 million SMEs contribute nearly 30% to the GDP, it’s time the spotlight turned toward the unsung heroes. That’s exactly what Entrepreneur Business Times, an online business news portal and India’s best business digital magazine, is doing — bringing stories from the by-lanes of Kanpur to the coasts of Kochi into boardrooms and business classrooms.

From retail disruptors in Tier 2 cities to manufacturing pioneers with roots in family-run workshops, Next Door Tycoons puts local businesses center stage. These aren’t just businesses; they’re movements quietly shaping India’s economy.

Not Just Big Names — Big Impact

“In most traditional business magazines, it’s all about unicorns and billion-dollar valuations,” says the editorial team. “But India’s real engine of employment and innovation lies in its SMEs. They deserve just as much attention — and with Next Door Tycoons, we’re making sure they get it.”

This section is dedicated to showcasing:

  • Innovative SME strategies
  • Modern manufacturing success stories
  • Regional retail triumphs
  • Local branding case studies
  • SME founders breaking barriers in logistics, sustainability, and supply chains

Why It Matters to Our Readers

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a startup founder, or a venture capitalist, understanding how local businesses thrive in unpredictable environments gives you strategic insight and practical inspiration. SME stories teach resilience. They teach reinvention.

This section also serves:

  • Business leaders & CXOs looking to understand consumer behavior beyond metros
  • Investors scouting promising small-scale ventures
  • Young founders learning how to scale with frugality

And let’s not forget: some of today’s unicorns once started out as neighborhood success stories.
