Gujarat govt to launch dedicated MSME e-commerce platform

The Gujarat government is planning to launch an e-commerce platform enabling them to buy and sell products online, to promote micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the state.

The state government has already started developing the platform, called MSME Exchange, apart from creating a huge database of MSME units and their products which can be marketed on the platform.

The state government has given great importance to the development of the MSME sector in the state. However, the key issue faced by MSMEs is non-availability of the required market support. During the MSME seminar at the recent Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit and pre-budget consultations with industry players, it was felt that a dedicated e-commerce platform was needed, which could act as an online exchange for MSMEs to buy and sell their products, said Mamta Verma, industries commissioner, government of Gujarat.
