Avin Agarwal`s Perspective on Cultivating Growth in MSMEs
MSMEs play a major role in the economic development of India by promoting innovations, and employment, and supporting poverty reduction. Avin Agarwal is intrigued by how the MSME industry is making the nation an inclusive society.
With the world moving foward, the MSME landscape faces a number of challenges. Avin explores these challenges with us and sheds light on how to strengthen the growth of MSMEs to unleash its full potential.
Let us dive deep.
Leveraging Digital Infrastructure
Going global means relying on digital connectivity, which is essential to open a new revenue source and to enhance competitiveness in today’s age. To encourage small businesses to go digital, we must promote digital transformation. It will help them to coordinate their activities and expand their market. It will also help to improve the quality of customer service. MSMEs have the opportunity to expand their reach and drive profitability with the proliferation of digital platforms and online marketplaces.
Sustainable Practices
Sustainability is an imperative strategy for MSMEs. It allows small businesses to align properly with global trends. By the implementation of environment-friendly innovations, MSMEs can stay ahead of non-compliant competition at least for a relatively longer duration and additionally promote the culture of environmental stewardship. Therefore, green practices encapsulate corporate social responsibility, creating more efficient production, and involving the community, the result is a sustainable growth for the MSMEs industry.
Embracing Technology
Innovation is the life-support system of MSMEs and the one that improves the productivity and efficiency. Industry 4.0 is a powerful example of the digital revolution which has proliferated across educational institutions and curriculum, allowing MSMEs to stay ahead of the curve. Through the use of automation, data analysis and cloud-based applications, MSMEs can get real-time information to make well-informed strategic decisions. Small businesses can also optimise resources, and both can discover new avenues for growth while gaining a competitive advantage.
Women-led MSMEs
Gender equality is very important for the creation of an inclusive environment that will lead to development and thereby drive economic growth. Small businesses led by women are examples of MSMEs which need to be emphasised since they are the ones that catalyse innovation and development.
Collaborative Network
There is strength in unity, and it brings forth multiple opportunities for MSMEs to forge partnerships with corporations, allowing them to tap into international markets. Through collaboration, MSMEs are able to diversify their offerings by improving marketing that can open new doors for their successful growth. Cooperation and collaboration together pave the way towards sustained success, helping MSMEs to overcome the challenges they face.
And though MSMEs are faced with a myriad of challenges, Avin is still hopeful about the future of small businesses. Considering all of the mentioned indicators of growth the MSMEs can make a route to sustainable growth and prosperity for themselves. The journey ahead may have some challenges but with perseverance and innovation, MSMEs can conquer any obstacles and come out of it stronger than ever.
