In a significant leap towards economic transformation, India's Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are at the forefront of digital empowerment initiatives. With over 63 million MSMEs contributing a substantial 30% to the national GDP and employing more than 110 million people, their evolution is pivotal for India's ambition to become a $5 trillion powerhouse.

The National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC), under the Ministry of MSME, has unveiled a comprehensive digital transformation agenda. This initiative, supported by the World Bank-backed RAMP scheme, includes the TEAM (Trade Enablement and Marketing) Initiative and an upgrade to the MSME Global Mart. The goal is to enhance MSMEs' digital market access, competitiveness, and integration into India's digital economy. Dexian India steps in as a crucial partner, leveraging its deep domain knowledge and technical prowess to execute this vision.

Dexian's expertise will drive a multi-faceted approach encompassing AI-powered cataloging, demand generation, and intelligent helpdesk solutions, among others. The transformation is not just a technical upgrade but an overhaul of MSMEs' digital DNA, as emphasized by Venkat Lakshminarasimha, Executive Director at Dexian. These initiatives aim to reduce barriers for MSMEs, empowering them with AI tools, marketing infrastructure, and streamlined onboarding processes for a sustainable impact in the digital realm.
