Small and medium enterprises (<keyword id="20086849" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="SMEs" source="keywords">SMEs</keyword>) are driving a major surge in <keyword id="21881529" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="job-applications" source="keywords">job applications</keyword> across key sectors, with more than 35 million job applications recorded in the first eight months of 2024, according to a report by jobs and professional networking platform apna.co. The growth is fueled by rising demand in sectors like BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance), BPO (Business Process Outsourcing), and hospitality.<br /><br />The report highlights that the surge in job applications is largely for roles such as Sales &amp; Marketing Managers, Accounting Technicians, Telecallers, Back Office Executives, and Business Development Associates. These positions are critical for the expansion of businesses in these sectors, and the growing demand reflects a strong upward trend in hiring.<br /><br />"SMBs and MSMEs employ more than 110 million people, making them the backbone of our economy. Their success is crucial for our nation's journey towards achieving a USD 5 trillion economy," said Nirmit Parikh, Founder &amp; CEO of apna.co. Parikh emphasised that the demand for skilled workers in these sectors is expected to continue growing, creating vast opportunities for <keyword id="20019820" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="job-seekers" source="keywords">job seekers</keyword> across India.<br /><h2>Major growth in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities</h2>An interesting trend noted in the report is that over 55% of the total job applications for SMB roles came from tier-2 and tier-3 cities, including Jaipur, Indore, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhubaneswar. As businesses expand into these cities, the talent pool is evolving to meet the growing demand, fostering a symbiotic relationship between employers and job seekers.<br /><br />Out of the 35 million job applications received, 14 million came from women, marking a 30% year-on-year increase in female participation. Women are increasingly taking on roles across diverse fields like finance, accounts, marketing, and graphic design, reflecting their rising involvement in the workforce.<br /><br />As SMEs and MSMEs continue to grow, the <keyword id="19972727" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="employment-opportunities" source="keywords">employment opportunities</keyword> they generate are set to further contribute to India’s economic goals, fueling progress toward the USD 5 trillion economy target.<br /><br /><em>(With inputs from PTI)</em><br />

Small businesses generated 35 million job applications till Aug 2024, 14 million were from women: Report

<br />One of the fundamental focuses of this <keyword id="19936553" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="budget" source="keywords">budget</keyword> was to boost skill development, job creation, and <keyword id="19898684" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="employment" source="keywords">employment</keyword>, with youth being one of its four cornerstones, in addition to women, the poor, and farmers.<br /><br />And to this front, the FM announced major changes, particularly to benefit first-timers or new additions to the workforce. New entrants across all formal sectors will be eligible for receiving one month worth of wages in three instalments, with a ceiling of Rs 15,000. This is expected to benefit 210 lakh young people who have a maximum annual salary is Rs 1,00,000. <br /><br /><strong><h2>New in the workforce? You'll be paid</h2></strong>Both employers and employees will be incentivised by means of <keyword id="20587419" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="EPFO-contributions" source="keywords">EPFO contributions</keyword> for the first 4 years of employment. What makes this scheme particularly lucrative for employees is that the government will reimburse EPFO contributions, Rs 3,000 per month, per additional employee, to the employer. For this purpose, all additional employees who have a maximum salary of Rs 1 lakh will be considered. <br /><br />In order to promote upskilling, the budget also promised loans of up to Rs 7.5 lakh, which will be backed by government' guarantee. It is estimated that this will benefit 25,000 students every year. Youngsters will also be able to get loans of up to Rs 10 lakh for pursuing higher education in domestic educational institutions. Apart from this, around 1,000 industrial training institutes will be upgraded, in order to train 20 lakh youth over the next 5 years. <br /><br />E-vouchers will be provided to 1 lakh students every year for interest subvention (bringing down the total interest cost) of up to 3% of the total loan amount. <br /><br />Says Krishnendu Chatterjee, VP and Business Head at TeamLease Services, "The government's commitment to employment and employability is clear with its Rs 1.48 lakh crore provision. This initiative, based on EPFO enrollment, focuses on recognizing first-time employees and includes direct benefit transfers of the first month's salary in three installments for salaries up to Rs 1 lakh". <br /><br />"Special emphasis is placed on the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Additionally, employers will receive incentives for job creation, with the government reimbursing up to Rs 3,000 per month for two years towards EPFO contributions for each new employee", he continued. <br /><br /><h2>Internship in top companies </h2>The budget also laid out a comprehensive scheme for assisting 1 crore young people to secure a 12-month internship in one of the top 500 companies of the country, over the next 5 years. For this, a monthly allowance of Rs 5,000 and a one-time help of Rs 6,000 will be provided. All training costs, along with 10% of the internship costs will be borne by the CSR funds of respective companies. <br /><br />Sunil Deshmukh, Chair of Global Board of Directors, Institute of Management Accountants noted that " with a Rs 2 lakh crore package for employment and skilling and Rs 1.48 lakh crores allocated to education, employment, and skill development, the budget comprehensively addresses job creation and skill enhancement. First-time workforce entrants will receive a direct transfer of up to ₹15,000, enhancing employability and stimulating economic growth. Overall, these measures demonstrate a strong commitment to economic reform and growth, creating a favorable tax environment that supports <keyword id="94495" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Innovation" source="Orion">innovation</keyword>, investment, and long-term development.'<br /><br />

Retailing in India accounts for about 10% of the country's GDP and the sector is second only to agriculture in terms of the number of people directly employed, RAI said in its pre-Budget memorandum highlighting areas that need attention in order to make the industry stronger. <br /><br /> "To ensure the growth of the sector, the Union Budget for FY25 should focus on generating demand and spurring consumption by offering benefits or concessions in the form of lower taxes. It will boost the overall consumer sentiment and benefit the retail sector, it said adding, consumption equals to development and the "tax benefits and relief to individual <keyword id="59866" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="taxpayers" source="Orion">taxpayers</keyword> will increase the monthly disposable income and support consumption", the memorandum noted. <br /><br /> Further, the budget should outline supportive policies, simplified regulations, skill development and simple goods and services tax (GST) norms to aid the development of the retail industry, RAI said.<br /><br /> Asking for low-cost finance to retailers, the industry body said, "There is a need to provide lower interest rate to the retailers through the special announcement in the Budget to assure easier financing for the retail businesses." <br /><br /> It also asked the government to consider the food and beverages retail sector as an essential service and said "subsidies and benefits should be given on land rates and other necessities such as electricity". <br /><br /> RAI also said there is a need to expedite the formulation and implementation of '<keyword id="5649262" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="National-Retail-Policy" source="Orion">National Retail Policy</keyword>' to enable ease of doing business and that "such a step would provide a substantial boost to the retail sector". <br /><br /> Stating that benefits to retail and wholesale trade MSMEs are restricted to priority sector lending only, RAI also recommended that retail and wholesale traders should be eligible for all benefits available to other MSMEs. Further, the retailers' body asked the Centre to encourage and incentivise states to adopt 'The Model Shops and Establishment (Regulation of Employment and Condition of Services) Act 2016 that enables states to choose to keep shops and other such establishments open 24X7 all through the year.

And the government’s Open Network for Digital Commerce (<keyword id="5862596" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ondc" source="Orion">ONDC</keyword>) initiative, which seeks to democratise e-commerce, is likely to spur increased digital adoption by <keyword id="6393272" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="msmes" source="Orion">MSMEs</keyword>, says a report by Elara Securities.<br /><br />The report also shared a survey finding (published in June 2021) conducted by Bluehost, a web hosting solutions provider, that said Indian MSMEs are rapidly adopting digital payments over cash – 72% of payments were through the digital mode compared while cash transactions accounted for 28%. <br /><br />Not only are new small businesses embracing digitalisation, more and more existing MSMEs are going digital too. This is, however, far short of that achieved in countries like the US and China. <br /><br />The percentage of Indian MSMEs that turned online grew from 32% in FY16 to 55% in FY20, as per data from RedSeer. <br /><br />“To compare, in the US, 54% of small businesses used emails in 2017 and in China, 89% of the MSMEs were already digitally connected by 2015. This indicates significant growth headroom in terms of digital connections in India alone,” said a report by Elara Securities, adding that currently only 4% of MSMEs are truly digitally engaged, the report said.<br /><br />As per RedSeer, India’ MSME digital services market is set to grow six times in the next five years, taking the market opportunity from $1.5 billion to $9 billion by FY25, at a CAGR of 43%. About 73% of the growth is estimated to come from a surge in the number of digital businesses and 27% from higher average spend on digital services.<br /><br /><strong>ONDC to build digital backbone for MSMEs<br /></strong>Covid forced many MSMEs to embrace digital. Now, there is a larger incentive for small businesses to go digital thanks to the government’s Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) initiative. It provides opportunities for small businesses to grow via e-commerce, by connecting them with network partners – taking products digital. <br /><br />“ONDC is expected to expand the user base for all digital/e-commerce apps/platforms in a way similar to UPI, which revolutionised the payment industry and increased the overall usage of online payments,” said the Elara Securities report. <br /><br />The platform will make it easy for small businesses to take their service portfolio online and become digitally relevant to their customers. <br /><br />“With such growth headroom, ONDC may bring in more and more MSMEs into e-commerce’s fold and accelerate the shift from offline to online,” Elara said.<br /><br />There were 80.16 lakh registered MSMEs as on March 31, 2022 – contributing close to 26% to India’s gross domestic product (GDP). The sector generates about 12 crore jobs across industries/regions and is a major wealth creator at the grassroot level, as per the report. <br /><br />The <keyword id="118240" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="MSME-ministry" source="Orion">MSME ministry</keyword> plans to boost its contribution to the GDP to 50% by 2025. It also aims to double the number of MSMEs in the next five years with a focus on high-growth industries. <br /><br />“The sector holds immense potential in supporting India’s ambitious vision of a $40 trillion economy by 2047,” says a recent report by industry body Assocham.<br /><br /><strong>Improving credit growth <br /></strong>Apart from the digital push, the government has been putting in all efforts to aid the sector’s quick growth through nuanced policy support. <br /><br />“Rural demand traction, improving MSME credit growth and manufacturing revival and supportive government/RBI policies are enabling a prolific seedbed for MSMEs,” said the report by Elara Securities. <br /><br />To give the sector a further boost, industry body <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/reit-like-structures-loans-against-gst-filings-can-help-solve-msme-fundraising-problems-assocham/articleshow/98518295.cms">Assocham recommended that banks </a>can fund MSME working capital requirements against GST filings.<br /><br />“Banks could fund working capital requirements against GST filings, which are more reliable quantitatively, as compared to collateralized loans. This would not only enable MSMEs easy access to funds but also spur formalisation through GST registrations,” Assocham said.<br /><br />The industry body also added that the government could come up with a structure similar to real estate investment trusts (REITs) and infrastructure investment trusts (InVITs) to lend specifically to MSMEs via pooling funds. <br /><br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO: </strong><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/first-82-days-of-2023-see-more-layoffs-than-the-entire-2022/slidelist/98960848.cms">First 82 days of 2023 see more layoffs than the entire 2022</a><br /><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/16-startups-have-laid-off-100-percent-employees-in-2023-so-far-3-of-them-in-india/slidelist/98941663.cms">16 startups have laid off 100 percent employees in 2023 so far – 3 of them in India</a>

Digitalisation, credit growth, government policies to drive MSME growth, say experts

<ul><li><strong>Credit demand grew at 1.29 times YoY in the quarter ending September 2022. <br /></strong></li><li><strong>MSME lending continues to be concentrated in the top ten states that have higher industrialization. <br /></strong></li><li><strong><keyword id="6904501" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Delinquency-rates" source="Orion">Delinquency rates</keyword> dropped YoY across private sector banks, public sector banks and NBFCs.</strong></li></ul>With lenders being able to supply timely credit to resilient MSMEs, the sector is on an accelerated growth trajectory according to the TransUnion CIBIL-SIDBI MSME Pulse Report. <br /><br />The report also indicates benchmark credit growth in the micro segment owing to an improvement in lender confidence. The measures on formalization of MSMEs and adoption of digital platforms by lenders has enabled them to access granular data on enterprises and improved their confidence for lending, especially to the microsegment of MSMEs. <br /><br />“The progressive reforms introduced by the government for MSME sector resurgence have borne fruit as reflected in the vigorous business activity and improved credit uptake by enterprises across all the segments,” said Sivasubramanian Ramann, CMD of SIDBI. <br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Rise in credit demand and credit exposure" comment="subhead2" text="Rise in credit demand and credit exposure"><span data-til="noop">Rise in credit demand and credit exposure</span></cmsannotation> <br /><br />Data from the report shows that credit demand – measured in terms of credit inquiry volumes – is correlated to the improvement in business activity. It grew at 1.29 times year-over-year (YoY) in the quarter ending September 2022, while credit supply remained stable with disbursement growing by 24% YoY. Disbursements to micro, small and medium sized enterprises grew at 54%, 23% and 8% YoY, respectively.<br /><br />Overall, MSME credit exposure stood at ₹22.9 lakh crore as of September 2022, reflecting a YoY growth rate of 10.6%. Bank type wide analysis of credit exposure shows that public sector banks hold ₹7.9 lakh crore, private banks hold ₹10.1 lakh crore, and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) account for ₹3.1 lakh crore of share. <br /><br />There are about 77 lakh live MSME borrowers – and this number is growing at 11% YoY. Small segment enterprises comprised the highest proportion in the MSME credit book at ₹9.5 lakh crore, while micro and medium enterprises hold ₹5.8 lakh crore and ₹7.6 lakh crore, respectively.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Higher industrialization equals higher MSME lending" comment="subhead2" text="Higher industrialization equals higher MSME lending"><span data-til="noop">Higher industrialization equals higher MSME lending</span></cmsannotation> <br /><br />MSME lending continues to be concentrated in states that have higher industrialization. The top ten states based on current outstanding MSME lending balances are Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Karnataka, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Telangana and Haryana. <br /><br />The top ten states constituted 72% of the MSME outstanding balance as of September 2022. Of these ten states, Gujarat and Haryana had the highest growth rate of 15% and 14%, respectively. On the other hand, Rajasthan and Gujarat had the lowest delinquency rate of 1.8% and 1.85% respectively. <br /><br />Says Rajesh Kumar, MD &amp; CEO of TransUnion CIBIL, “The rapid pace of innovations driven by the government, regulator, and the lending ecosystem has significantly fortified the MSME sector to continue its high growth trajectory. These innovations have provided capabilities for triangulating the power of financial, income and trade information so that credit institutions can get a unified view of the business entity, enabling improved risk differentiation for underwriting MSME loans.”<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Reduction in delinquency rates" comment="subhead2" text="Reduction in delinquency rates"><span data-til="noop">Reduction in delinquency rates</span></cmsannotation><br /><br />In this edition of MSME Pulse, a new definition for over 90 Days Past Due (DPD) is being introduced, which excludes legacy accounts with DPD beyond 720 days or reported as loss/doubtful. <br /><br />The overall delinquency rate on MSME portfolio was 3% for September 2022 (FY23-Q2), down from 4.4% during the same period last year (FY22-Q2). This reduction is due to a drop in delinquency rates across micro, small and medium segments. <br /><br />These findings emphasize that improved credit flow to the MSME segment can help stabilize the sector and provide much needed financial support to fortify it further.<br /><br />Delinquency rates have dropped YoY across private sector banks, public sector banks and NBFCs. Private sector banks showed the highest drop in delinquency – from 2.8% in the quarter ending September 2021 to 1.5% during the same period in the year 2022. For PSBs, delinquency rates dropped from 5.3% to 3.9% and for NBFCs from 5.9% to 4.5% during the same period.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Growth in the micro segment of MSMEs" comment="subhead2" text="Growth in the micro segment of MSMEs"><span data-til="noop">Growth in the micro segment of MSMEs</span></cmsannotation> <br /><br />MSME Pulse also studied the growth in the micro segment of MSMEs. Its findings show that disbursements to the micro segment grew by 54% YoY and credit balances grew by 13% YoY as of September 2022. <br /><br />In comparison, disbursement growth of 24% and credit balances growth of 10.6% was observed on the overall MSME portfolio. Very small ie. Micro1 and Micro2 segments showed YoY balance growth (growth that is sustainable in the long term) of 20%, 15% and 11%, respectively. <br /><br />Interestingly, more than 50% of new originations came through new-to-credit (NTC) borrowers in this segment – which emphasizes the importance of alternate data sources for effective underwriting. <br /><br />Even though the micro and small enterprise segments are dominant in the market, less than half of the micro units have access to formal credit, marking a significant opportunity for credit institutions to accelerate MSME lending. <br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO: </strong><br /><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/first-82-days-of-2023-see-more-layoffs-than-the-entire-2022/slidelist/98960848.cms">First 82 days of 2023 see more layoffs than the entire 2022</a><br /><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/you-will-soon-lose-your-legacy-blue-tick-on-twitter-heres-everything-you-need-to-know/articleshow/98960333.cms">You will soon lose your legacy blue tick on Twitter – here’s everything you need to know</a><br />

One week to go! The MSME Exchange 2023: Bigger and better

The world is on a wave of digital transformation. And without a doubt, MSMEs need to adapt to this advancement. MSMEs may be micro, small, and medium businesses by classification, but the impact they have is massive and invaluable. They prevail as the backbone of the economy due to their high share of employment and value-addition.<br /><br />An added bonus to this business revolution aka the <keyword id="6358354" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="msme" source="Orion">MSME</keyword> movement would be a refreshed focus on innovation and digitalisation. It has emerged as the need of the hour for these companies: to engage in global markets as numerous segments still rely on conventional on-premises deployments and manual documentation. They must relook at their procedures and adopt new tools and systems if they want to remain relevant.<br /><br />At Business Insider India, we want to highlight how MSMEs can find solutions to unique challenges for their businesses with the help of new-age digital tools. The <keyword id="4106334" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="msme-exchange" source="Orion">MSME exchange</keyword> on January 18-19, 2023, will extensively discuss how businesses can terminate the challenges that are slowing them down in the race of digital transformation.<br /><strong>[Register here: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/msme-exchange-2023">https://www.businessinsider.in/msme-exchange-2023</a>]</strong><br />Whether finance or security concerns, digitization resolves each issue without a hitch. Now, let's look into some important areas that require technological advancement.<br /><br /><strong>Finance<br /></strong>Startups need significant amounts of finance to survive and expand. For this reason, signing up for government programmes will be necessary if you want to receive enough funds. In general, processing associated documentation for government funding takes longer. So it makes sense to switch to reputable fintech company policies. Numerous fintech companies that offer credit enable you to access significant financing at low interest rates.<br /><br /><strong>Project Administration<br /></strong>Another crucial area to pay attention to for a business's seamless operation is project management. Micro, small, and medium-sized businesses often have between 10 to 250 employees. So, controlling the workflow while performing numerous tasks is really difficult.<br /><br />However, the tools and software for project management guarantee a well-organized workflow with maximum productivity. Asana and Trello are a couple of project management applications that support team management, project workflow management, and much more.<br /><br /><strong>Marketing</strong><br />For small and medium-sized enterprises, marketing is their top priority. MSMEs face significant obstacles when trying to engage audiences in other states due to local regulations and legislation. For businesses looking to expand their global audience, it is crucial to concentrate on digitising their marketing activities.<br /><br />For example, using social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, or Pinterest can help engage and grow a following. It consequently has a tremendous impact on conversion rates and sales.<br /><br /><strong>Security<br /></strong>Security is one of the most important factors that businesses should take into account. As the company expands, it should concentrate on cutting-edge security measures to safeguard both internal and external data from hackers.<br /><br />There are a number of problems for customers and organisations when cybersecurity systems are lacking. In contrast, a workspace's effective security measures ensured minimum liabilities, compensation, and costs.<br /><br /><strong>Engagement &amp; Interaction with Customers<br /></strong>Customer involvement and interaction is the final important area that MSMEs should digitise. Customer engagement and contact are essential in all businesses, whether they are service-based or eCommerce.<br /><br />To improve consumer engagement, a number of organisations use chatbots, review sites, websites, email marketing, contact forms, forums, and social media. Although it can be somewhat daunting, using these tools correctly ensures credibility and wins over customers' trust.<br /><br />Being successful at digital transformation is not always straightforward, which makes it more difficult for MSMEs to implement. While concentrating on digitalizing their internal operations, MSMEs must also maintain a strategic measure to make sure that their end clients are only positively impacted by this. MSMEs must develop strategies to undergo digitalization that will yield this result. A crucial component of digital transformation is technology adoption.<br /><br />However, the excitement surrounding digital transformation is increased by the fact that its advantages far outweigh its requirements. With the dependability that these modern technologies deliver, they have the potential to dramatically boost business productivity. The skills required to offer any firm its full benefits will take time, and it might not be an instant process. If the organization's employees are uncomfortable working with new methods, the digitalization process will fail and allow the potential for inefficiency or a slowdown in operations and results.<br /><br /><em>Reminder: One week to go!

MSMEs in the face of digital transformation

While some experts believe survival will remain the top priority for micro, small, and medium-sized businesses in 2023, others believe the year will be better, at least in terms of credit expansion. From what we've seen it has been a bumpy ride for MSMEs. In 2022 we got to see MSME concerns like low demand, shrinking margins, piling up inventories and most of all, rising interest rates. <br /><br /><br />In <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>, the MSME sector is mostly engaged in the service, manufacturing, processing, production and preservation of commodities. Considering that the almost 6 crore-plus MSMEs account for nearly 50% of all exports and nearly 30% of the country's GDP, it is clear that they are the foundation of the Indian economy.<br /><br /><br />In India, MSMEs are mostly located in rural and semi-urban areas and they help in maintaining the regional economic balance and the much-needed employment opportunities. Experts have also expressed that the growth of MSMEs is extremely crucial in fulfilling India’s target of becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2025.<br /><br /><br />MSMEs contribute to the preservation of the regional economic balance and the creation of desperately needed job opportunities. Experts have also stated that in order for India to reach its goal of having a $5 trillion economy by 2025, MSMEs' growth is absolutely essential.<br /><br /><br />The bad news is that access to financing has been and continues to be a major obstacle for SMEs to launch, maintain and expand their operations. To start and run their business initially, about half of formal SMEs rely on internal capital or cash from friends and family rather than formal credit from banking and other financial institutions. According to research, 131 million formal SMEs have unmet financial needs. And creating opportunities for SMEs is necessary to spur <keyword id="47276" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="economic-growth" source="Orion">economic growth</keyword> and end poverty in emerging nations.<br /><br /><br />The good news is that <keyword id="2403269" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="digital-financial-services" source="Orion">Digital Financial Services</keyword> (DFS), or the supply of financial products and services via digital channels, have become a crucial tool for helping small and medium-sized firms close the financing gap. These technological innovations serve as the foundation for the development of new business models and digital financial products, which include digital loans and other credit products, as well as equity capital. Digitisation has the potential to revolutionise MSME funding. The rising prevalence of mobile phones in developing nations is expanding the digital financial services that are available to MSMEs and advanced data analytics and digital financial products are assisting these largely unorganised businesses in establishing a credit history that will open the door to formal financing.<br /><br /><br />To top it off, informal organisations can now register, operate legally, and meet regulatory requirements for client identity and verification thanks to digital payroll systems and forms of identification. Additionally, internet platforms give business owners access to a variety of finance alternatives that they otherwise wouldn't have had.<br /><br /><br />The digital transformation of MSMEs also lowers transaction costs for the lenders and banks that serve them. The greater their digital footprint, the more MSMEs appeal to technology-focused SME lenders that can use data to decrease the costs related to loan origination and collection, thereby increasing the profitability of serving the MSME market. More traditional lenders like banks can also benefit from advances in analytic and processing capabilities, which fuel data-driven intelligence that can inform their initial decision-making and portfolio management.<br /><br /><br />That being said, the MSME community in India has grown by leaps and bounds and is slowly defining its route to recovery following the pandemic. While there are many factors that can be attributed to the government's policy initiatives and creative financing options, technology and the rise of social commerce have been the real game-changers, assisting them in resolving problems, finding new markets, managing regulatory compliances, and overcoming logistical difficulties to spur real business growth.<br /><br /><br />But there's a lot more to it than just digitisation. For more, ensure to tune into BI India's two-day <keyword id="4106334" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="msme-exchange" source="Orion">MSME Exchange</keyword> on January 18-19.

The key to eliminating the MSME finance gap in emerging markets

MSMEs lie at the heart of India Inc and play an integral part in our <keyword id="47276" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="economic-growth" source="Orion">economic growth</keyword>. In the recent few years, we have seen small businesses stay resilient in the face of a pandemic, thanks to the government’s policy push and initiatives. Over the last two decades, the government has come up with several regulatory measures to make it easier for these enterprises to not just grow but thrive. The <keyword id="6358354" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="msme" source="Orion">MSME</keyword>D Act of 2006 has been modified suitably in 2020 to take into account the changed market realities and the growing importance of these manufacturing and services companies. But there is no denying that technological progress, innovative financing solutions and the rise of social commerce have altered the MSME landscape.<br /><br />While the policy push has certainly helped the sector and its entities when it comes to innovative financing solutions for these entities, a real game changer has been technology and e-commerce platforms that have helped resolve many of the issues faced by these entities to discover new markets, deal with regulatory compliances and navigate logistics issues such that they can focus only on their business growth. India’s journey towards a five trillion economy is going to be powered by many small, micro and medium enterprises who now have the runway to take flight and big tech partners that are wind beneath their wings.<br /><br />At Business Insider India, we are back with the third edition of <keyword id="4106334" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="msme-exchange" source="Orion">MSME Exchange</keyword> – India’s leading MSME summit, powered by our knowledge partners NASSCOM &amp; BSE SME Council.
