The award was presented at the Signature Awards organised by Nachural at The London Hilton on Park Lane.

GBB was shortlisted in three categories - Business Start Up of the Year, International Business of the Year and Excellence in Technology.

The win comes less than a year after the platform's formal launch. The award was accepted by co-founders Mayank Shah and Chaitanya Kumar.

Chaitanya Kumar said: “We are on a mission to help one million SMEs connect, collaborate and grow globally.

“What makes Grow Beyond Borders special is the combination of powerful technology, AI and data intelligence with a very clear purpose, helping businesses gain visibility, find the right opportunities, build meaningful partnerships and access the human expertise they need to grow internationally.

“It is incredibly rewarding to see an idea we envisioned a few years ago becoming a platform that customers value and the wider industry is now recognising.

“I’m delighted that Grow Beyond Borders has received the Excellence in Technology Award, and I’d like to thank the Natural London Signature Awards for this recognition.”

GBB brings market research, export planning and international connections into one platform.

Its features include My Research for market insights, Growth Coach for guided export planning and Trade Advisors for expert guidance.
