That is only possible if MSMEs shift from labor arbitrage to technology leadership, embrace automation and AI, and rise from SMEs to global MNCs. Let today be Day Zero — we must act now to build at least 1,000 world-class Indian MSMEs that can compete with the best in the world.”~ Mr Rishi Kumar Bagla, Chairman, CII Western Region addr at Brainstorming Session with MSMEs Siemens Ltd Confederation of Indian Industry CIIEvents SIDBI(Small Industries Development Bank of India) #CIIWR
