She also highlighted the critical role of digital innovation in scaling small businesses.
“Embracing digital tools is no longer optional for MSMEs; it’s a necessity. Digital platforms enable businesses to reach wider markets and streamline operations.”

She further called for stronger public-private collaboration to unlock the full potential of the MSME sector.
“Collaboration between financial institutions and policymakers is crucial. We advocate for policies that support MSME development and remove barriers to access.”
