MSME Growing Rapidly in the IT sector
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are driving the Indian economy. The government also focuses on and assists the emerging MSMEs to help them grow. MSMEs in the IT sector play a crucial role in driving growth and innovation in India's technology landscape.
These enterprises are pivotal in fueling digital transformation across various sectors, thanks to the government's support through schemes like the RAMP and TUF. These programs provide financial and technical assistance that enables enterprises to adopt cutting-edge technologies and improve their operational efficiencies. Technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), AI, and data analytics are driving substantial growth across the MSME sector, ultimately boosting the Indian economy.
Recently DQ Channels interacted with a few industry players and gathered their views on how MSMEs are playing a driving force in the IT domain and how they are playing their roles in enabling them.
Lalit Arora, Co-Founder, of UBON, shared insights -
We are thrilled to observe the transformative impact of digitization on MSMEs in the IT domain. The recent Google and KPMG study highlights that small businesses leveraging digital solutions experience twice the revenue growth compared to their offline counterparts. Specifically, MSMEs integrating with e-commerce platforms have seen a remarkable 65% increase in turnover, with 54% reporting significant profit gains.
This explosive growth in digital infrastructure, driven by UPI-led digital payments and innovative FinTech solutions, has accelerated the digitization of the MSME sector. In FY 22, digitized SMEs attracted 40% of the share of invested capital, with e-commerce alone accounting for approximately 65% of this investment. Projections suggest this figure will rise to around 75% over the next five years.
By embracing these digital advancements, MSMEs have fundamentally improved their day-to-day operations, financial management, and cash flow monitoring. We are proud to support and collaborate with these dynamic small businesses as they continue to evolve and set new benchmarks for growth and efficiency in the digital age.
