India’s Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector is poised for a mega transformation in 2020, with the launch of an Alibaba-like e-marketplace, trendy yet affordable khadi products to appeal to the masses and digital data-based credit ratings to help entrepreneurs avail loans. However, the MSME sector, often considered the bulwark of the economy as it contributes around 29% to the GDP and 48% to the Indian exports.

This will give a push to the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision of the government.
