India’s economic resilience and inclusive growth story cannot be told without acknowledging the transformative role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These enterprises contribute over 30% to the GDP, 45% to exports, and provide employment to more than 28 crore people, especially across Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. At the heart of this movement stands CIDF (Commerce & Industry Development Foundation)—a catalyst for MSME empowerment and regional progress.

 Empowering MSMEs, Enabling Bharat

CIDF’s mission is rooted in grassroots development, ensuring that MSMEs are not just supported but celebrated as engines of innovation, employment, and self-reliance. Through strategic initiatives, CIDF bridges the gap between policy and practice, making government schemes, financial tools, and market access truly accessible.

 CIDF’s Core Contributions to MSME Growth

  • Policy Advocacy & Stakeholder Engagement
    CIDF works closely with ministries, industry bodies, and local governments to shape MSME-friendly policies and amplify their impact.
  • Expos & Knowledge Platforms
    Flagship events like the Rashtriya Krishi Pragati Expo 2025, Bharat Solar & EV Expo 2025 serve as dynamic platforms for MSMEs to showcase innovations, connect with buyers, and learn from experts.
  • Training & Capacity Building
    From digital literacy to sustainable practices, CIDF offers workshops and mentorship programs that help MSMEs modernize and compete globally.
  • Market Linkages & Branding Support
    CIDF helps MSMEs craft compelling brand identities, access new markets, and integrate into larger supply chains—especially in agriculture, solar, EV, and heritage sectors.

 Driving Viksit Bharat Through MSMEs

As India marches toward the vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047, CIDF ensures that MSMEs are not left behind but lead the charge. By promoting quality, competitiveness, and technology adoption, CIDF is helping small enterprises evolve into global players.
