Tally Solutions, a leading business management software company for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), has announced the winners of the fifth edition of Tally MSME Honours 2025 from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

This flagship annual initiative recognises entrepreneurs and small businesses that have demonstrated innovation, resilience, and excellence across diverse sectors and categories within the Kingdom. As KSA accelerates private sector growth and digital transformation under Vision 2030, the Tally MSME Honours stand as a testament to the country’s commitment to nurturing a thriving, innovation-led SME ecosystem.

The winners were felicitated at a grand event in the city, across four carefully curated categories- Business Maestro, Wonder Woman, NewGen Icon, and Tech Transformer. This year’s edition received over 400 nominations from KSA and over 20,000 nominations globally, further expanding its reach and relevance within the MSME community.

Commenting on the occasion, Mohd. Shoaib Akthar, Deputy General Manager – KSA, Tally Solutions, said, “MSMEs are the backbone of Saudi Arabia’s evolving, diversified economy. As the Kingdom propels forward with its Vision 2030 agenda, the role of agile, tech-driven small businesses becomes increasingly vital. With the government taking strong steps to support SMEs through policies and digital initiatives, it’s an exciting time for entrepreneurs in the Kingdom.

Through Tally MSME Honours, we aim to augment these national efforts, by spotlighting and celebrating the changemakers who are driving transformation across sectors. It’s our way of recognising their impact and reaffirming our commitment to supporting their continued success.”
