The Recognition
At the Lokmat Maharashtra Ratna Awards 2025, Shri Veerendra Jamdade, Founder & CEO of Vritti Solutions, was bestowed with one of the highest honors of the state. This recognition is not merely about an award; it is about the acknowledgement of a 30-year-long journey of relentless hard work, innovation, and leadership. The award reflects how an individual’s vision, when powered by consistency and purpose, can create a transformative impact not only on businesses but also on society at large.
The Evolution
Three decades ago, when enterprise technology in India was still in its nascent stage, Shri Veerendra Jamdade identified a gap — the need to simplify, digitize, and empower businesses. What began as small steps gradually evolved into a portfolio of trusted enterprise solutions:
1. Adatsoft revolutionized commodity trade management.
2. Petrosoft transformed the petroleum industry with structured, digital operations.
Ekatm CRM, ERP & Work became comprehensive platforms that empowered businesses to integrate processes, manage workflows, and build stronger customer relationships.
This continuous innovation in enterprise business has helped organizations grow with efficiency, scale, and confidence. These platforms are not just products; they are outcomes of three decades of perseverance and the belief that Indian enterprises deserve world-class solutions built in India, for India.
The Digitization
The journey of innovation did not stop at enterprises. Shri Veerendra Jamdade extended his vision to rural India — where access to modern communication remained a challenge. This gave birth to Audiowala Bus Stand, an idea ahead of its time.
The requirement was clear: how to engage, inform, and empower millions in semi-urban and rural regions where digital and traditional media could not always reach. The answer was simple yet path-breaking — a captive audio medium at bus stands, which turned waiting areas into hubs of information and awareness.
Today, Audiowala Bus Stand is active in 8+ states, delivering communication directly to rural audiences with unmatched recall and trust. It stands as one of the most innovative and impactful rural media platforms in the country.
A Legacy of Hard Work & Innovation
The Lokmat Maharashtra Ratna Award is a celebration of this unbroken legacy of growth and innovation. From building enterprise products like Adatsoft, Petrosoft, Ekatm CRM/ERP/Work to pioneering the Audiowala Bus Stand network, Shri Veerendra Jamdade has continuously pushed the boundaries of what Indian technology and innovation can achieve.
This recognition is not just for one man, but for the vision, dedication, and persistence that turned ideas into scalable impact, both for businesses and for society.
From Enterprise Innovation to Rural Digitization — this is the story of consistent growth, resilience, and transformation.
