According to Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Hon’ble Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Minister of State for Education, “Boosting MSME exports is crucial for our nation’s economic growth, and e- commerce is proving to be a powerful catalyst in this regard. The government is committed to fostering an environment where MSMEs can thrive and expand globally, in alignment with Prime Minister Modi’s vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat. E-commerce exports, supported by programs like Amazon Global Selling, is instrumental in providing MSMEs with opportunities to showcase their products to a global audience. Entrepreneurs from districts, cities, and small towns across India have great potential to take up e-commerce exports. With the right policies and an enabling ecosystem, we can empower these entrepreneurs and position India as a leading export nation.”
