Rebooting SMEs for Sustainable Growth
Overview
For ages, we’ve been witnessing epidemics and crises but the rapid global phenomenon of COVID-19 and its fallout has left business sales and revenues plunge, or in some cases, zeroed with no industry being spared. However, SMBs and SMEs in India are looking to bounce back after facing stiff challenges due to the ongoing pandemic. Over 73% of SMBs in India are confident that they will survive and bounce back post COVID-19. This confidence is reflected in the fact that SME’s believe that this period presents a good opportunity to reformulate the business strategy and positively contribute to achieving India’s goal of becoming a $5 trillion economy by 2025.
