MSME Mahotsav 2025: Industry Dialogue on Growth

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) contribute 30% to India’s GDP, account for 50% of total exports, and employ over 110 million people. Their growth is essential for India's economic progress. A PayNearby survey indicates that 68% of MSMEs recognize the benefits of digital adoption, with 31% reporting business growth through digital tools. As India advances toward a $7 trillion economy, digital transformation is expected to enhance MSME productivity, streamline operations, and expand market reach.

MSME Mahotsav 2025, a key event dedicated to MSME development, will take place on April 23–24, 2025, at The Ashok Hotel, New Delhi. The event will bring together policymakers, business leaders, and industry experts to explore the role of technology and financial solutions in driving MSME expansion and global competitiveness. 

Arvind Singh, Founder & CEO of Quest OntheFRONTIER, said " To achieve our national ambition of Viksit Bharat, MSMEs must play a pivotal role by expanding rapidly, creating jobs, and driving economic momentum. Our mission at MSME Mahotsav is to enable ambitious MSME owners to scale up tenfold within seven years through the right innovation and strategic interventions. Digital adoption remains a hurdle for MSMEs; NASSCOM reports that 65% of tech-enabled MSMEs lack awareness of available tools and 36% are resistant to new technology. Additionally, 72% of them stress the necessity for AI training programs. This raises the need for a collaborative approach where the government is pushing for policy measures like increased credit access, and initiatives like the ₹10,000 crore Fund of Funds for startups, along with industry stakeholders encouraging digital adoption, strategic networking, and hands-on guidance.  We are building on this momentum to create a conducive ecosystem where visionary 1000+ industry leaders and MSMEs can connect, collaborate, and scale. With workshops, panel discussions, and one-on-one meetings, we are creating a structured space for engagement. This way, we can equip MSMEs to increase their market reach and position themselves as key growth drivers of India's $7 trillion economic ambition.”
