Empowering MSMEs Through Capital Markets

Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO of NSE, emphasizes the potential for MSMEs in India to leverage the capital markets for securing funding and scaling their businesses. With 11 crore registered investors and 21 crore accounts, India stands at the cusp of funding entrepreneurial dreams on a massive scale.

Chauhan highlighted the shifting global dynamics, from a unipolar system dominated by the US to a multipolar system where India is emerging as a key player. Historical engagements, such as the US's strategic relationship with China in the 1970s, have paved the way for economic advantages that fueled rapid growth. Now, the focus is shifting towards India and other emerging economies, presenting a unique opportunity for MSMEs to thrive on the global stage.
