Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the backbone of India’s economy—contributing approximately 30% to the national GDP, accounting for 45% of total exports, and generating substantial employment across the country. As India charts its path towards becoming a $5 trillion economy and enhancing its global footprint, it is imperative to equip MSMEs to address persistent challenges, including limited access to finance and markets, and complex legal and contractual landscapes.
In response to these challenges, the MSME Forum of the Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry is organizing the MSME Conclave 2025 – 2.0, themed: “Global Partnerships, Smart Finance & Dispute Resolution for MSME Growth” on Friday, 19th September, 2025 at Four Seasons, Mumbai.
The Conclave aims to catalyze meaningful dialogue, foster strategic collaborations, and provide actionable insights to enhance the global competitiveness of MSMEs in an increasingly digital economy. The program will feature expert-led panel discussions on key themes, including:
