Background
India’s vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047, under the Viksit Bharat 2047 roadmap, places MSMEs at the center of economic transformation. Contributing significantly to GDP, exports, employment generation, innovation, and regional development, MSMEs are the backbone of India’s growth story. However, to emerge as global champions, MSMEs must accelerate their adoption of technology, embrace sustainability, strengthen competitiveness, integrate into global value chains, and enhance access to finance and markets.
Against this backdrop, the Bombay Chamber’s MSME Forum is delighted to conduct MSME Conclave 5.0: MSMEs at the Forefront of Viksit Bharat 2047 on Friday, October 09, 2026 at ITC Grand Central, Mumbai. The conclave seeks to bring
together policymakers, industry leaders, financial institutions, technology providers, and entrepreneurs to deliberate on the strategies, opportunities, and reforms required to empower MSMEs as key drivers of India’s journey towards a developed economy.
The conclave will serve as a platform to showcase success stories, discuss emerging trends, foster partnerships, and create actionable pathways for building future-ready MSMEs that can contribute meaningfully to India's long-term growth aspirations.
