Indiana Owned operates in the advertising services space and runs a Carmel, Indiana-based platform that highlights locally owned businesses through a distinctive badge. The platform groups participating businesses into two categories: Original, meaning Indiana-owned and operated with headquarters in Indiana and not part of an out-of-state chain, and Franchise Friend, meaning a franchise that is Indiana-owned and operated with an owner who lives in Indiana and remains engaged in the community. The program implies that directing consumer spending to local businesses helps sustain economic activity, higher local salaries, and a stronger tax base. The platform features a network of members—local business owners who live and work in Indiana and contribute to their communities—listed on IndianaOwned.com. In August 2024, Indiana Originals announced the launch of an Introductory Certification Level to broaden recognition of the value of supporting local.
