This edition of India Briefing magazine explores the dynamic evolution of India’s SME sector, a key driver of growth and innovation. Readers will learn how SMEs are scaling up through e-commerce and initiatives like the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), while embracing digital trade to expand their customer base. The financing landscape is also shifting, with microcredit now complemented by innovative solutions such as embedded finance, invoice discounting, and venture debt—unlocking broader access to growth capital.

Equally important is the role of talent, as India’s entrepreneurial workforce adapts to meet the evolving needs of industry.
