FISME and GAME Organize High-Level Roundtable on MSME Financing in New Delhi

The Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises (FISME) and the Global Alliance for Mass Entrepreneurship (GAME), in collaboration with regional MSME bodies, are set to host a pivotal roundtable discussion on MSME financing in New Delhi on September 20, 2024.

This event aims to address the persistent financial challenges faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), a crucial sector for India’s economic growth.

S.C.L. Das, Secretary of the Ministry of MSME, will lead the discussions, reflecting the government’s commitment to resolving the financial hurdles that MSMEs frequently encounter. The event will also feature Ateesh Kumar Singh, Joint Secretary of the Agriculture and Farmers’ Issues department within the Ministry of MSME, who will provide additional insights through a special presentation.

The roundtable’s agenda will focus on key issues, including delayed payments and access to finance for MSMEs. Following the opening remarks, GAME will share its work related to delayed payments, drawing on insights from previous regional roundtables. Two major discussion sessions will dive into the core challenges of delayed receivables and MSME access to finance, creating a space for stakeholders to engage directly with policymakers.

After the Secretary’s address, participants will have an opportunity to engage in a Q&A session, fostering further dialogue on potential solutions for improving MSME financing. This interaction is expected to bring fresh perspectives and actionable suggestions directly to those shaping India’s MSME financial ecosystem.

The roundtable presents a significant opportunity for stakeholders to contribute to the development of solutions that will help MSMEs, which play a vital role in driving economic growth and employment across India.
