    Editorial with Sujit Nair: 10,000 MSMEs Shut Shop In 2023

    Editorial with Sujit Nair: 10,000 MSMEs Shut Shop In 2023

    As many as 10,655 micro, small and medium enterprises closed down in the financial year 2022-23 – the highest in the last four years. This data also misses one year of the month, since the year is still ongoing – so the actual number may be even higher. In 2021-22 that number was 6,222, which in 2020-21 it was far lower at 175 and in 2019-20 it was 400. In this episode of the Editorial our Managing Editor Mr Sujit Nair shares his take on the matter. 

    Stuck on the wrong end (S3 – Ep5)

    Stuck on the wrong end (S3 – Ep5)
    Larger economies and businesses may already be finding their way to absorb the shocks of the supply chain crisis, but that is less the case for smaller players. We throw the spotlight on developing countries and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises who find themselves bypassed by major trade arteries and at risk of being priced out of the markets. The episode features Sebastiano Iorio of Cargo Compass SA, Sushant Palakurthi Rao of Agility, Kanwar Usman of the International Cotton Advisory Committee, and soundbites from Mohammadi Group's Rubana Huq. WTO's head of the Development Policy Unit, Raúl Torres, provides the analysis.
