NSIC
Empowering India's MSMEs since 1955
NSIC, a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of MSME, has worked to promote, aid and foster the growth of MSMEs in India since 1955. A front-runner in bringing new initiatives for MSMEs and solving their challenges through various schemes, NSIC was quick to adopt digital technologies and launched the B2B portal MSME Global Mart (www.msmemart.com), an online platform for B2B marketing that connects MSMEs with buyers and suppliers all over the world. The portal aims to significantly reduce, and ultimately eliminate, the challenge of weak marketing, market access and visibility of MSMEs in the country.
Beyond e-marketing, the need was also felt to help MSMEs adopt technology to achieve higher business efficiency, automation and compliance. Following this, the Digital Service Facilitation aggregation service was launched, under which NSIC operates as a facilitator of ICT-enabled digital services for MSMEs at transparent and affordable prices, by on-boarding leading service providers that offer the products and services MSMEs need to manage their businesses digitally.
E-Marketing Portal: MSME Global Mart
MSME Global Mart is a one-stop, one-window bouquet of utilities that helps millions of businesses of every scale in India, with excellent networking opportunities between buyers and sellers across the world. The B2B portal disseminates sector-specific trade leads and tender information to MSMEs. Customers can choose products and services from specific sectors and navigate categories that suit their business or individual needs, with opportunities to start or expand a business, track global tenders, and run product-specific database searches.
