Namdev Finvest Marks MSME Day by Highlighting the Role of Responsible Credit in Unlocking Growth for Underserved Entrepreneurs
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) continue to remain a cornerstone of India’s economic growth, supporting entrepreneurship, employment generation, and inclusive development across the country. According to the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, the sector comprises over 6.3 crore units and contributes approximately 31.1% to India’s GDP, and 35.4% of manufacturing output, while providing livelihoods to around 32.8 crore people, making it the country’s second-largest source of employment after agriculture*[1].
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra recently described MSMEs as the “nursery of entrepreneurship” and central to the Viksit Bharat vision. He noted that credit growth in the MSME segment has outpaced overall credit growth and urged financial institutions to treat MSMEs as long-term business partners rather than small-ticket borrowers. He also highlighted digital tools including the Account Aggregator framework, the forthcoming Unified Lending Interface, and the Trade Receivables Discounting System as instruments to reduce friction in credit delivery. His remarks reflect the growing recognition that as MSMEs scale and diversify, their financing needs are evolving beyond working capital.
On MSME Day, Namdev Finvest highlights how timely and structured finance can help small businesses invest in growth, adopt technology, strengthen resilience, and turn aspirations into sustainable progress.
Supporting Business Continuity and Growth
Managing day-to-day operations while pursuing growth remains a key priority for MSMEs. Timely access to finance can help businesses meet working capital requirements such as inventory purchases, supplier payments, employee expenses and other operational costs, while also enabling expansion through capacity enhancement, infrastructure upgrades and entry into new markets. For many entrepreneurs in Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets, structured financing provides the liquidity and confidence needed to maintain business continuity, seize new opportunities and scale sustainably.
Investing in Technology and Productivity: Building Future-Ready Enterprises
As competition intensifies across sectors, investing in technology, equipment, and process improvements has become a strategic necessity. MSME financing can help entrepreneurs adopt better tools, improve efficiency, and enhance productivity and build longer-term competitiveness.
Enabling Entrepreneurs in Emerging Markets: Bridging Credit Gaps
MSMEs in Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets often carry significant growth potential but continue to face challenges in accessing formal finance. Responsible lending and customised credit solutions can help entrepreneurs in these regions strengthen their businesses and participate more actively in India’s broader economic growth.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Jitendra Tanwar, MD and CEO, Namdev Finvest, said, “For the entrepreneurs we work with in Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets across Rajasthan and beyond, the gap between ambition and access has always been the core challenge. MSME Day is a reminder that this gap is not inevitable; it is addressable with the right financial partnerships and the right intent. The RBI’s framing of MSMEs as long-term partners, not small-ticket borrowers, resonates deeply with how we at Namdev Finvest have always approached this segment.
Our work is grounded in understanding the financial realities of entrepreneurs who have historically been underserved by formal credit and in building solutions that meet them where they are. We have seen consistently that once a small business experiences responsive, structured credit, their relationship with the formal economy deepens. That shift – from informal survival to formal growth – is what inclusive finance at its best looks like.“
