From two engaging fireside chats to panel discussions on tackling MSMEs challenges on finance and technology – let's quickly get to what to expect from day 2.

We shine the spotlight on the Indian economy and how MSMEs have served as its skeleton. The Federation of India Micro and Small and Medium Enterprises' Secretary-General, Anil Bhardwaj, will deliver the keynote address – emphasising on the need to improve exports and public procurement to assist the MSME industry.

Ajay Thakur, Bombay Stock Exchange's Head of SME and Startup will provide additional light on what needs to be done in order to alter entrepreneurs' perspectives and why it is important to list small businesses to uncover value and scale higher.
