The budget’s identification of infrastructure, manufacturing, and skilling as key areas for long-term development and subsequent allocation is a step in making India the logistics and manufacturing powerhouse of the world. As a fund focused on investing in supply chain and logistics, we are bullish on backing innovative entrepreneurs building the support ecosystem of India’s supply chain. The government’s move to set up E-commerce export hubs to be set up for enabling MSMEs to export their local products is a huge step in the direction of driving growth through innovation and building on new-age trends to drive MSME growth. Interesting move from the Government to create industrial centres in historic hubs like Gaya of India as a part of ‘Vikas bhi, Virasat bhi.’ This will boost widespread infra development and logistics in these regions and create employment opportunities, reducing the urban-rural divide as well as encourage distribution of income”.
