From Small-Town Roots to a National Business Empire: Akash Joshi and IMAST’s Inspiring Rise

In a powerful celebration of entrepreneurship, perseverance, and homegrown innovation, Akash Joshi, Founder and Director of IMAST Operations Private Limited, was honoured with one of the most prestigious India Business Awards at a grand ceremony held in New Delhi. The award was presented by celebrated Bollywood actress Amrita Rao, marking a proud moment not just for the organization, but for India’s rapidly evolving startup and SaaS ecosystem.

IMAST, under Akash Joshi’s leadership, has today grown into a ₹200 crore–valued IT SaaS company, serving reputed Indian and global brands across multiple industries. The recognition reflects years of consistent growth, innovation, and execution—driven by a clear vision to build scalable, technology-led solutions that simplify complex business operations.

What makes this achievement particularly inspiring is Akash Joshi’s journey. Hailing from Dewas, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, Joshi’s path to success was far from conventional. With limited resources but an unshakable belief in his vision, he embarked on an entrepreneurial journey that demanded patience, resilience, and years of disciplined effort. Today, that journey stands as a shining example of how talent and ambition from Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities can compete on a national and global stage.

Addressing the audience at the award ceremony, Akash Joshi said the honour represents “the dedication and hard work of decades.” He credited his team, clients, and mentors for standing by IMAST through every phase of growth.

“This award is not just mine. It belongs to every team member who believed in the vision of IMAST. Coming from a small town like Dewas, I have learned that success is not about where you start, but how consistently you move forward,” Joshi remarked.

Founded with a strong focus on integrated SaaS solutions, IMAST has built platforms that enable businesses to manage loyalty programs, sales force automation, supply chains, and post-sales operations efficiently. The company’s ability to deliver reliable, scalable, and customized solutions has helped it earn long-term trust from clients and achieve a high retention rate.

Industry experts at the event highlighted IMAST as a role model for India’s next-generation SaaS companies, particularly those emerging outside traditional metro hubs. The company’s growth reinforces the idea that innovation and excellence are no longer confined to big cities alone.

Akash Joshi’s recognition at the India Business Awards symbolizes a broader shift in India’s entrepreneurial landscape—where small-town founders are building large, impactful enterprises. His story resonates strongly with young professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs who dare to dream beyond their circumstances.

As the ceremony concluded, one message stood out clearly: from the lanes of Dewas to the national stage in Delhi, Akash Joshi’s journey with IMAST is a testament to the spirit of new India—ambitious, resilient, and limitless.
