Crisis as Catalyst: How Some Businesses Transformed Pain into Power
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- What does it take to succeed in a business world defined by rapid change, digital breakthroughs, and growing sustainability pressures? For the winners of the 2025 Golden Bull Award, the answer is clear: vision, agility, and a drive to challenge the norm. These are high-performing companies and trailblazers. This year's winners are leading the way through innovation, from adopting AI and strengthening cybersecurity to integrating ESG values into their core operations. They show us that profitability and purpose can, and should, go hand in hand. Recent data from SME Corp Malaysia backs this up. According to its latest performance report, over half (55.6%) of Malaysian SMEs are prioritising innovation, nearly 40% are forming strategic alliances, and a third are actively pursuing international markets. These are dynamic, forward-looking businesses shaping the future economy. The Golden Bull Award goes beyond celebrating success to enabling growth. As 80.7% of SMEs ramp up marketing efforts and 64.5% plan to scale their operations, the Award opens doors, connecting ambitious businesses with the networks, platforms, and partnerships they need to thrive. Organised by Business Media International with the support of the Small and Medium Enterprises Association of Malaysia (SAMENTA) since 2003, the Golden Bull Award stands as Asia's longest-running and most respected recognition platform for SMEs. Its footprint spans Malaysia, Singapore, mainland China, and Taiwan, and continues to grow across the region. This year saw a record 19% increase in nominations, to over 1,700 companies. This highlights the rising aspirations of Malaysian SMEs. With SMEs contributing 39.1% to Malaysia's GDP in 2023 and national targets aiming for 45% by 2025, their contribution is more critical than ever. "This year's Golden Bull Award is a testament not just to business success, but to business evolution," said Datuk William Ng, National President of SAMENTA. "Our winners reflect the best of Malaysia's entrepreneurial spirit: resilient, bold, and future-ready. With stronger government backing, they're will be able reach even greater heights." The awards span three categories: A special Distinguished Bull Award was also presented to ten outstanding businesses that have previously won and continued to grow and expand their reach. Throughout the selection process, integrity and transparency remain paramount. Baker Tilly Malaysia served as the official auditor, while CTOS Data Systems Sdn Bhd acted as the independent credit report and data provider. Since its founding in 2003, the Golden Bull Award has stood as a benchmark of SME excellence across Asia. With expansion into new Asia Pacific markets on the horizon for 2025, it continues to spotlight the region's most inspiring business stories. SUPER GOLDEN BULL CATEGORY 1.

Over ₹48,000 cr investment, 38,500 jobs generated under solar PLI scheme till June 2025: Govt
New Delhi: An investment of approximately ₹48,120 crore and employment generation for around 38,500 persons has been reported under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules as on June 30, 2025, according to data shared by the successful bidders. In a written reply to the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy and Power, Shripad Yesso Naik, said the PLI Scheme is designed to promote manufacturing of high-efficiency solar photovoltaic (PV) modules in the country and reduce dependence on imports in the solar energy sector. The scheme has led to the issuance of Letters of Award for setting up 48,337 MW of fully or partially integrated solar PV module manufacturing capacity. The incentive amount under the scheme is linked to the local content in solar PV modules manufactured by selected entities. This linkage is aimed at developing a robust solar PV manufacturing ecosystem in the country and supporting production of high-efficiency modules. The Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had in September 2022 approved the implementation of Tranche-II of the National Programme on High Efficiency Solar PV Modules . The programme includes a financial outlay of ₹19,500 crore to establish gigawatt-scale manufacturing capacity of solar PV modules. As per the ministry, the outcomes expected from the scheme include the creation of approximately 65,000 MW of annual manufacturing capacity, direct investments of about ₹94,000 crore, and direct employment to 1.95 lakh persons along with indirect employment to 7.8 lakh persons. The scheme is also expected to support development of components such as EVA, solar glass, and backsheet, and enable import substitution worth ₹1.37 lakh crore. Manufacturers will be selected through a transparent process, and PLI benefits will be disbursed for a period of five years post commissioning of manufacturing plants.
