SEP Wins TechPoint’s 2025 Exceptional Employer Mira Award

SEP Recognized as Indiana’s Top Tech Employer, Winning TechPoint’s Prestigious Mira Award

Westfield, Indiana – SEP has been named Exceptional Employer by TechPoint at the 26th annual Mira Awards.

This award recognizes companies that are developing talent through skills-based hiring of STEM roles; advancing diversity, equity and inclusion; cultivating workplace culture; and making a positive impact on the community.

Being a good part of the community—supporting our peers, supporting charitable causes in town—while also building a profitable business, pouring into our people, and knocking it out of the park for our customers does not have to be a zero-sum game. These are complementary goals, and this award is validation of that.

—Raman Ohri, President and CEO of SEP

Winners in 20 award categories were chosen by a rigorous process that included 50 Mira Awards judges who winnowed down applications to finalists. The Mira Awards are the state’s largest, best known and most prestigious technology awards. The annual gala celebrates the “Best of Tech” in Indiana. Judging panels were comprised of founders, executives, community leaders and subject matter experts for the TechPoint Innovation and Talent categories. SEP was selected as the winner from a pool of highly competitive nominees across the state.

Being named Exceptional Employer by TechPoint means so much because it reflects the culture we’ve worked hard to build. We want SEP to be a place where people grow, feel supported, and do meaningful work that makes a difference in our community.

—Dawn Bunting, HR Director at SEP

The awards gala was presented by TechPoint, Indiana’s industry-led growth initiative for the state’s digital innovation economy, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation and a host of the state’s most innovative companies, universities and organizations.
