Apart from the invigorating entrepreneurial stories, it will also showcase a panel discussion among industry experts, grand felicitation ceremony and also highlight award winners' journeys to success.

For the first time, 'SME Doctors' will be roped in to evaluate the companies covered in the series.

Last two seasons on ET NOW were roaring successes and provided much required recognition to successful small businesses. With the introduction of SME Doctors, the show would be a double reward for the chosen MSMEs. We certainly hope that as many MSMEs get benefitted - not only those who feature on the channel, but also those who watch the show and learn from their experiences."
