It was a real honor to meet Shri R.K. Rai from India’s Ministry of MSMEs – he’s like a walking book of knowledge who truly cares about helping small businesses grow. We had a great chat about new plans in the ministry and ways ASPIRE can work together to build a strong, self-reliant India. My friend Shri Mukesh Pandey from RupyaaPaisa.com and I invited him to be the Chief Guest at our MSME Insights Conclave 2025 in New Delhi.

Top officers from Haryana’s small business office came to Gurugram factories on June 8, 2025. Shri Dheeraj Chahal led the group. They met factory owners from places like Gurugram, Sohna, Nuh, and nearby spots. The goal was to tell everyone about government grants, schemes, and help programmes to grow businesses. Shri Chahal said more such visits are coming under Minister Shri Rao Narbir Singh. As ASPIRE President, I linked them with owners from textiles, cars, energy, recycling, food, and services. Big thanks to Shri K.K. Gandhi and the whole IDA Gurugram team for their awesome help.

ASPIRE took part in the MSME Insights Conclave 2025 on July 11th, 2025. It was run by MSME Insights and Rupyaapaisa.com with ASPIRE’s help.

Innovators, leaders, business owners, and experts talked about challenges and shared easy solutions. Guests included Sh. R.K. Rai from the MSME Ministry as Chief Guest, Sh. Gaurav Lather from Haryana MSME, and Sh. Pranav Sinha from SIDBI. Everyone enjoyed panel talks, networking, and idea sharing to help businesses grow. Special thanks to our friend Mukesh Pandey for this great event. It built strong teams and plans for small businesses nationwide.

We were so happy to speak at a simple one-day workshop about using biomass – that’s plant-based fuel – for clean steam and heat in small businesses. India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy set it up with friends like GIZ and Grant Thornton Bharat. They launched a cool new report called “Decarbonizing Small Businesses: Using Biomass for Green Steam and Heat”, shared by Minister Shri Shripad Yesso Naik. We chatted about how to get biomass, supply chains, making it work better, and green heat ideas. It really shows how small businesses in India can go greener and cut down pollution. Big thanks to everyone for the great talks on making industry cleaner. Partners were the Ministry of Small Businesses, SIDBI, ASPIRE, and TERI.
