MSMEs over the past few years have clearly demonstrated why they are called the backbone of India’s economy with grit and resilience to overcome crises and the value they continue to add to the daily lives of people. Moreover, a large number of MSMEs have leveraged technology to adapt and grow amid rising competition and changes in the global economic order.
As India continues to be the world’s fastest-growing economy aiming to reach $10 trillion in GDP in the next decade, its MSME sector must deliver strong growth. This cannot be achieved without technology even as the overall regulatory environment and credit access remain the holy grail of growth.
To be sure, a significant portion of MSMEs in India still struggle to pivot to a digital-first approach due to various challenges, including IT infrastructure, capital, security, and more. Additionally, they often find it difficult to understand how and where to access customized solutions that meet their specific needs.
The FE Emerging Business Growth Workshops will bring this topic to light with key MSME voices in Hyderabad which is already among the top tech hubs in the country. Join us for this half-day event addressing the bottlenecks in MSMEs’ digital transformation journey.
