During the press meet on Udyamimitra portal and TreDs on October 26, 2017, Shri Mohammad Mustafa, IAS, Chairman and Managing Director, SIDBI also unveiled the new Corporate logo of SIDBI .
The new logo signifies the catalytic role of SIDBI in making the MSME sector, vibrant, dynamic, responsive with inclusive growth at its core. The underlying philosophy of the logo is “dynamism”, which emphasises SIDBI’s dynamic approach towards MSME ecosystem. The new logo is a combination of two colours, green and blue with a small purple shade. The colour Blue symbolises trust, loyalty, confidence, stability and depth while Green symbolises life, nature, environment. The shapes in the logo symbolise human beings, emphasising the importance being accorded to the youth, new age entrepreneurs and our own staff. The intersection of the above two symbolises the intermingling of the human with nature. A small purple dot symbolising the rising ambition of the entrepreneurs completes the story of the entrepreneurial spirit.
