BEOT Summit 2025

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are the lifeblood of India's economic fabric, driving innovation, employment, and inclusive growth. With 63 million enterprises employing 11 crore people, MSMEs are more than just economic contributors—they are engines of resilience and community upliftment. The growing role of women-led businesses, making up over 20% of the sector and generating nearly 19% of employment, reflects the sector’s transformative impact on social equity and empowerment.

The digital wave is reshaping MSMEs, with online sales and payments becoming the norm, amplifying their market presence and efficiency.

This digital momentum, supported by forward-looking government initiatives like PM Vishwakarma and Udyam Registration, is unlocking new growth avenues. As MSMEs increasingly embrace technology and sustainable practices, collaborative efforts between stakeholders are key to fostering long-term prosperity and strengthening India’s position as a global economic force.

Dun & Bradstreet is excited to unveil the grand summit of ‘Business Enterprises of Tomorrow 2025’ on the theme ‘Charting the Next Growth Phase of MSMEs’ on 27th June 2025, in Delhi. The event featured keynote addresses by several eminent dignitaries, including representatives from the Government, Ministries/bodies, industry veterans, and other distinguished thought leaders. The summit also featured the launch of the ‘Rethinking the Future of India’s Small and Mid-Sized Businesses’ report, as well as the recognition of the best performers across several industry and theme-based categories.
