Velvin Packaging Solutions Private Limited has been named the “Fastest-Growing MSME Award – Medium” at the ET MSME Awards. This recognition highlights the company’s rapid growth and impact within India’s MSME ecosystem, with the felicitation ceremony taking place on March 24, 2026.

Mumbai based Vel-Vin Company, a renowned corrugated manufacturing firm based in Greater Mumbai and led by chairman and managing director Vincent Mathias, a native of Attur in Karkala, has been honoured with the prestigious ‘India’s Fastest Growing MSME’ award by The Economic Times.

The award was presented at a grand ceremony held last Wednesday at the Le Méridien New Delhi, recognising Velvin’s remarkable growth and contribution to the manufacturing sector. This company, built over just five years as part of the larger Vel-Vin Group, was honoured with the Economic Times Award for India’s Fastest Growing MSME (Medium Category). What makes this recognition special is not just the award, but the pace and quality of what has been built – and the belief that has driven it.

This achievement belongs to every hand that built this company – their operators, drivers, and team across generations. It belongs to their customers who trusted an Indian manufacturer to deliver global standards. And to the family – especially Vernon and Vartan – for carrying this legacy forward with passion and new vision.

Vel-Vin is in the business of sustainable packaging, but what they truly package is trust. And last night, that trust was recognised.
