Since the advent of Internet, a new era of knowledge and information has dawned. Nahak was born of the Internet and became an interesting business model working for Small and Medium Enterprises — showing SMEs the way to become global players with the help of ICT.
During early 2000, UNO gave a clarion call to the world to make world information and knowledge policy through the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). They gathered 1600 people around the globe — Heads of State, IGOs, NGOs, civil society, religious bodies and business entities. Nahak represented Asia in the Business Entity section by invitation of UNO. The WSIS process lasted two years, from 2003 to 2005.
The World Trade Organisation and its technical arm, the International Trade Centre (ITC), Geneva, used the WSIS platform to conduct workshops on how information can work for business. ITC asked Nahak to conduct a seminar on “Roadmap to SMEs”, where representatives of 50 countries were invited to learn how ICT can help SMEs. The workshop was organized in December 2003 at Geneva.
The Centre of Innovation, Incubation & Entrepreneurship (CIIE) of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad awarded Nahak’s blood model concept as one of the innovative social models in a National Search of Innovation in the year 2005.
