SMBs in India, don't miss out on Amazon Smbhav – it is the place to be to take your business to new heights in 2020

Over the last five decades, the SME sector in India has seen dynamic growth, contributing to 40 percent of the country's total exports and accounting for 45 percent of industrial output. It generates employment for around 60 million people and creates 1.3 million jobs every year.

Be it agriculture, manufacturing or service industry, SMEs have significantly contributed to the socio-economic growth of India. But the bad news is that a majority of them face challenges which restrict them from scaling to their full potential. These include inadequate capital, poor infrastructure, lack of access to new technology and knowledge sharing, cumbersome regulatory practices, and so on.

Amazon India has been taking commendable efforts to empower SMEs to overcome these hurdles. One of their efforts is a two-day mega summit for small and medium businesses – Amazon Smbhav – which provides SMBs an avenue to explore new opportunities of growth, learn from stalwarts and experts to be future-ready.

When: January 15-16, 2020

Where: Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi

Providing boundless possibilities to SMBs

Amazon Smbhav will enable small and medium businesses and micro-entrepreneurs in India an opportunity to engage in a constructive and inclusive open dialogue with the industry, subject matter experts as well as peers about issues hindering their growth. They can share learnings and unique ideas, explore new business models, discuss digitisation across various sectors and gain insights into future trends in the industry. The event will bring together Amazon leaders, policymakers, solution providers, trend makers and over 3,500 SMBs who are hungry to learn and grow.

“Small businesses are the backbone of the Indian economy, contributing to the growth, and embodying the entrepreneurial spirit of Indians. It is imperative that all key stakeholders come together to support the growth and scale of these businesses. Amazon India is committed to helping these businesses achieve access to larger audiences, thus empowering them to grow and succeed at a fast pace. Amazon Smbhav will serve as a platform for them to gain the knowledge and achieve that scale - directly from successful industry leaders,” says Gopal Pillai, VP, Seller Services, Amazon India.
