New Delhi, June 24th, 2025: The upcoming MSME Mahotsav 2025 will bring together key voices from industry, government, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem to examine how Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) can navigate and benefit from digital transformation. Scheduled to be held at The Ashok Hotel in New Delhi, the event will explore the theme, “Powering MSMEs through Technology for Growth.”
With MSMEs contributing around 30% to India’s GDP and 50% to total exports, the sector plays a pivotal role in the national economy. It also provides employment to over 250 million people. As India aims to become a $30 trillion economy by 2047, the development and digitization of the MSME sector remains a critical policy and industry priority.
Despite its potential, digitization continues to be a barrier for many MSMEs. NASSCOM data suggests that while tech-enabled MSMEs are increasing, 65% remain unaware of available digital tools, and over a third are hesitant to adopt new technologies. MSME Mahotsav 2025 will address these challenges through discussions on digital inclusion, access to technology, e-commerce, and financial innovation.
Shri Jitan Ram Manjhi, Hon. Minister for MSMEs, Government of India, said, “India’s MSMEs are the backbone of our economy, fueling livelihoods, driving innovation. An initiative like the MSME Mahotsav is vital for recognizing and accelerating the growth of over 5.93 crore registered MSMEs[1]. This platform is a much-needed catalyst for connecting enterprises with opportunity and vision with action. I am delighted to be part of this initiative to handhold MSMEs to achieve greater heights and achieve our vision of Atmanirbhar, Viksit Bharat.”
Arvind Singh, Convener, MSME Mahotsav, said, “We are creating a conducive ecosystem where experienced industry leaders will support MSMEs scale up. Our flagship program- 10X in 7 years – will work with aspiring MSMEs to achieve 10 times growth in 7 years. scale up, create much needed jobs and contribute to achieving our shared national ambition of Viksit Bharat.”
The day-long event will feature panel discussions, networking opportunities, exhibitions, and thematic sessions on topics such as unlocking the $1 trillion potential of the MSME sector, scaling through e-commerce, and enabling growth through digital and financial tools. Participants will include policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, technology providers, industry professionals, and representatives from trade associations and academic institutions.
