In a significant step towards expanding its legacy of excellence in recognition products, Gitanjali Awards Private Limited has inaugurated its brand-new flagship showroom at Saheed Nagar in Bhubaneswar — one of the city’s prime locations. The exclusive store, spread over 1,500 sq. ft., was recently given a soft launch by Odisha’s Higher Education, Sports and Youth Services Minisdter, Suryabanshi Suraj.
Driven by the belief that recognition is the soul of motivation, Gitanjali Awards has redefined how awards, trophies, and mementos are conceptualized and crafted. The new showroom showcases an extensive and thoughtfully curated collection of premium recognition items designed for corporates, academic institutions, government bodies, and social organizations.
“The opening of this showroom marks a pivotal moment in our journey,” said Krishna Mohan Tata, Founder of Gitanjali Awards. “We want to bring our distinctive craftsmanship closer to the people of Bhubaneswar. With cutting-edge designs and a commitment to innovation, we aim to serve every recognition need with pride and precision.”
Notably, Gitanjali Awards has created the prestigious NIRF Trophy in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad and designed unique 3D trophies in partnership with NIFT.
Gitanjali Awards’ new outlet blends style with functionality, offering customers an immersive experience in selecting awards that mirror their vision and values. Beyond the physical space, the company’s omni-channel presence enables 24/7 access through its online store, ensuring convenience for customers across India.
Speaking on the company’s future direction, Co-founder Budha Prakash Mohapatra shared, “We’re registering trademarks, pursuing design patents, and entering the eco-friendly gifting space. Our focus remains on timely delivery, innovation, and sustainability.”
From its modest beginnings to becoming a trusted name in the industry, Gitanjali Awards has grown through sheer determination and an unwavering dedication to quality. Founded by two friends who started while still in corporate jobs, the company today stands as a symbol of creativity, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurial spirit.
