Welcome to the India SME Forum, India’s largest Small & Medium Business Movement. Formed in May 2011, with the objective to propel a Small and Medium Business Movement across the country, our aim was to provide a voice to small and medium entrepreneurs, wilting under the non-entrepreneur friendly policies of the government, and to support and recognize innovative, globally competitive, SMEs in India.

Starting out with 400 members in 2011, today we have over 76,000+ MSMEs as members, 270+ Sectoral & Regional Associations as Supporters and 35 major banks, corporations & organizations as partners.

We have been at the forefront of demanding a radical change in the way our country is led. We are committed to a paradigm shift in the mindset of the people of our country, towards its entrepreneurs.

We can feel a huge excitement in the next generation of entrepreneurs, and the MSME sector, India’s Second Largest Employment provider, which was feeling neglected and ignored, has renewed their faith in the possibilities and opportunities, opening up.

As part of our mission, the India SME Forum, shares best practices, information and knowledge as well as seeks and recognizes MSMEs who have exhibited great success in leading their enterprises, creating much needed employment, enabling a sustainable ecosystem and catapulting their enterprise to the next stage, while navigating the inherent risks imminent with business.

Join, network and share best practices & knowledge with over 0.6 million Entrepreneurs who have registered as Members, Contributors & Volunteers from all over India and contribute to creating the best Entrepreneurial ecosystem, India has ever seen.
