Talreja said during the magazine launch, "While conceptualising the magazine and the cover page feature, we thought about getting business stalwarts like Ratan Tata for the cover image; but the ultimate aim of the magazine is to celebrate MSME business owners; hence every edition of the Business Success Magazine will feature celebrated MSME Business Owners on the cover!"

PROFICORN 2023 is to be back in December 2023 with its next edition, with more iconic speakers, more Business Success Awards and their promise to always support and celebrate MSMEs at every step of business growth.
