Sunjjoy Chaudhri Awarded Bharat Udyog Sanman Puraskar 2025 for Transforming India’s Business Landscape through Practical Strategy

Pune, July 2025 — In an ecosystem where most startups struggle beyond their early stages, and MSMEs often fail to scale due to lack of guidance, one strategist has emerged as a key catalyst for sustainable growth: Sunjjoy Chaudhri, founder of Setup Mastery.
At a grand felicitation event in Pune organized by Swiftnlift Media Group, Sunjjoy was conferred with the Bharat Udyog Sanman Puraskar 2025 in the category of Best Business Case Study Expert of the Year. The award celebrates his outstanding contribution to developing and guiding over 15000+ Indian businesses through data-driven decision-making, case study analysis, and strategic restructuring.
The honor was presented by two eminent guests — acclaimed actress Sonalee Kulkarni and Navnath Yewale, Managing Director of Yewale Amruttulya, symbolizing the blend of cultural pride and business excellence.
What sets Sunjjoy apart is not just his knowledge of business systems, but his unwavering belief in clarity before growth. His work goes beyond surface-level tactics. At the heart of Setup Mastery is a unique blend of real-world case study methodology, founder behavior analysis, and operational restructuring.
While many consultants focus on marketing playbooks or financial hacks, Sunjjoy builds each strategy like a diagnostic report—analyzing the business’s current performance, founder’s decision-making patterns, and operational blind spots. He helps entrepreneurs uncover what’s blocking growth and guides them toward better alignment between goals and systems.
Sunjjoy coined the term 'Self Case Study' to describe this process—where a founder doesn’t just fix their marketing or product but introspects their role, clarity, and choices. He believes every business challenge is the result of a deeper decision-making loop that must be understood before scaling sustainably.
Setup Mastery, based in Pune, has become a movement among India’s small business community. With a loyal base of clients across sectors—retail, services, manufacturing, and consulting—Sunjjoy’s team delivers a combination of 1-on-1 sessions, offline workshops, and digital content that simplify complex business decisions.
The Self Case Study Workshop, in particular, has helped solopreneurs and family businesses reset their strategy through structured templates, reflection models, and execution roadmaps. More than 15000+ business owners have already experienced the impact of this unique format.
The Bharat Udyog Sanman Puraskar is a national-level honor given to contributors who play a meaningful role in India’s entrepreneurial and economic development. Past recipients include leaders in finance, manufacturing, and grassroots innovation.
By honoring Sunjjoy with this award, Swiftnlift Media has acknowledged the rising need for structured strategic thinking in India’s startup and MSME ecosystem—a space where clarity often takes a backseat to chaos.
In his acceptance speech, Sunjjoy said, 'This award is a milestone, but more importantly, it’s a reminder that India doesn’t just need more entrepreneurs—we need more clarity-driven entrepreneurs. I’ve seen how a single insight can shift an entire business. My mission is to equip every serious founder with that insight.'
Sunjjoy’s journey is grounded in real-world experience. He faced his share of business setbacks early in life but chose to study each one like a case study. Instead of moving on, he asked: What failed? Why did I choose that? What pattern repeated? That obsession laid the foundation for Setup Mastery.
Unlike academic models or corporate frameworks, Setup Mastery operates on ground reality—dealing with bootstrapped budgets, emotional fatigue, generational gaps in family businesses, and resource crunches common across small enterprises. This realism is what makes his insights relatable and actionable.
Clients often share that the biggest change after working with Sunjjoy isn’t external—it’s internal. They start thinking more strategically, managing teams better, and making cleaner decisions. His approach doesn’t just solve problems—it builds business maturity.
Looking ahead, Sunjjoy and his team have ambitious plans to scale Setup Mastery without compromising its personal touch. Initiatives underway include a digital learning platform, a content hub for Indian case studies, and a business thinking bootcamp for students and new founders.
He also plans to collaborate with incubation centers and MSME networks to bring Self Case Study formats to underserved regions. His book, 'Do Self Case Study,' is currently in development and aims to become a go-to tool for entrepreneurs struggling with confusion and complexity.
What makes Setup Mastery’s work especially important today is that it challenges the prevailing obsession with speed. While the market promotes growth hacks and viral tactics, Sunjjoy promotes depth, structure, and thinking clarity. In his view, scaling without alignment is dangerous.
His methodology teaches founders to audit before they accelerate. To reflect before they expand. And to structure before they hire. These principles are becoming increasingly relevant as India’s startup culture matures.
The Bharat Udyog Sanman Puraskar given to Sunjjoy is not just a celebration of what he has done—it’s a signal of what India’s entrepreneurs now value: structured thought, ethical scaling, and emotionally intelligent leadership.
In an era where many business voices chase fame or flash, Sunjjoy’s voice is refreshingly focused on fundamentals. His clients don’t just gain revenue—they gain peace of mind, clearer operations, and better self-awareness.
With more collaborations, content, and community-building on the horizon, Setup Mastery is poised to become a national reference point for small business clarity in India. And at the center of it is a man who still believes that real transformation starts with a good case study—and better questions.
For business owners, students, professionals, and policymakers alike, the message is clear: India doesn’t need more noise. It needs more thinking. And thanks to voices like Sunjjoy Chaudhri’s, that shift has already begun.
