Pune, Feb 18 (KNN) In a significant boost for micro and small entrepreneurs facing challenges in scaling their businesses due to inadequate office space or a lack of ideas, the Pune chapter of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has announced a series of workshops across western Maharashtra throughout the year.

These training sessions will focus on improving sales, marketing, finance, and manufacturing. Business owners will also receive tailored solutions fr0m CII’s extensive network of industry professionals, ensuring personalised guidance.

Yashwant Desai, co-convenor of the CII Pune MSME panel, highlighted plans to facilitate financial support for participants. “We are also planning to arrange finance for them. The selected bank will prepare special products such as reduced interest rates,” he said.

Desai pointed out that medium enterprises are generally in a better financial position compared to micro and small-scale businesses, which typically employ 8 to 10 people and generate a turnover of up to Rs 50 crore.

A recent two-day workshop held at the Institute of Management and Research Development (IMDR) in Pune saw participation fr0m around 35 entrepreneurs.

These attendees were subsequently enrolled in CII’s entrepreneurship development forum, which provides access to mentorship programs and networking opportunities.

The event was attended by prominent industry figures, including Amit Ghaisas, Managing Director of YashPrabha Group, Shikha Jain, Director of IMDR, and Sadashib Padhee, convenor of the CII Pune MSME panel.

So far, CII has successfully conducted similar workshops in Kolhapur, Nashik, and Aurangabad. Plans are in place to organize 8-10 additional sessions by the end of 2025.

Notably, these workshops will be free of cost, and non-members are welcome to participate, making them highly accessible for small business owners seeking growth and support.

With this initiative, CII Pune aims to empower MSMEs by equipping them with the necessary skills and financial backing to scale their operations effectively.
