Bhubaneswar: CSM Technologies has added another plume to its fledging cap, with being honored with the Tech Excellence in GovTech award at the 4th NASSCOM SME Inspire Awards 2026 in Mumbai.
This prestigious recognition was received by Ms. Lagna Panda, Whole-Time Director and CHRO of the organization. During the ceremony, Ms. Panda emphasized that this award represents a profound responsibility to ensure every line of code meets citizen expectations and every digital platform fulfills a promise of fairness.
She highlighted that the company is focused on humanizing governance at scale, creating a future where technology serves the public quietly and powerfully.
For more than 27 years, CSM Technologies has operated at the intersection of policy and possibility under the leadership of its founder and CEO, Priyadarshi Nanu Pany.
Shri Pany has been instrumental in scaling the organization from its roots into a global GovTech powerhouse. His vision has enabled the company to implement over 1,000 digital platforms that touch the lives of over 400 million citizens across multiple continents.
By integrating advanced technologies such as AI, GIS, IoT, and Cloud, Shri Pany has driven the company to ensure that governance feels seamless for people in diverse sectors ranging from mining corridors to healthcare systems.
The impact of the company is clearly reflected in its flagship platforms that bring transparency to complex public systems. The Integrated Mines and Minerals Management System, known as i3MS, has completely reimagined mining governance into a real-time, transparent ecosystem.
Similarly, the Student Academic Management System, or SAMS, manages over a million admissions annually in Odisha with a level of precision that eliminates opacity. These innovations underscore the company’s role as a global partner that helps governments design intuitive and resilient systems.
The NASSCOM award celebrates the ability of CSM Technologies to redefine impact and build trust at scale. By focusing on public sector transformation and maintaining globally benchmarked quality standards, the organization continues to shape the modern experience of governance.
