Help Indian MSMEs market products globally: Nitin Gadkari to Amazon

Union MSME Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday urged e-commerce major Amazon to list products from small businesses separately on its platform and help micro entrepreneurs market their goods globally. Highlighting that the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector is a major job creator and backbone of the Indian economy, Gadkari said the quality of their products is good but more expertise is needed in design and packaging.

“I would request you, if it is possible, to find out a solution for MSMEs. With your international exposure, if you can plan product designing and giving new vision, awareness, product development to all entrepreneurs, regarding what global companies want…it is a win-win situation. It will increase your turnover and help Indian economy,” the minister said. He was speaking at the unveiling of Amazon’s Exports Digest 2020.
