An MSME influencer forum has been launched to promote micro, small, and medium enterprises and raise awareness about various government schemes to boost their growth, a statement said on Saturday. Inaugurating the forum virtually, Union Minister Narayan Rane said that such initiatives will give great thrust to motivating MSMEs and building them towards a bigger and brighter tomorrow. All they need to do is focus on their core expertise and deliver their products and services with the best possible quality, the minister said. The collaborative programme will showcase government schemes and programmes that are designed to boost the MSME sector both offline and online, the statement said. Influencers and leaders who are working towards the growth of MSMEs would also be felicitated, as MSMEs will play a key role in achieving the USD 5 trillion economy target, it added. The collaborative programme, which was inaugurated on Friday, is promoted by financing platforms Dealplexus and SMEStreet.
