Strategically Transforming Small and Medium Businesses

Small & Medium industry has been one of the major planks of India’s economic development strategy since independence. India accorded high- priority to SMEs from the very beginning and pursued support policies to make these enterprises viable and vibrant and over time, these have become major contributors to the GDP. Despite numerous protection and policy measures for the past so many years, SMEs have remained mostly small, technologically backwards and lacking in competitiveness. The opening of the Indian Economy in 1991 added problems to the SMEs.

Presently, the SMEs in India are at a crossroads and intense debate is centred around questions like what would be the future of the small enterprises? How can these enterprises survive in the international trade arena? What role can the govt play in making these SMEs more competitive? In this context, it is important to relook into the basic issues of SMEs, past, present and future prospects, especially in the policy framework.

SCENARIO OF START-UPS
Manoj says, “India had the third-largest start-ups market in 2020 behind US and China. Our start-up ecosystem is still a hot market for private equity and venture capital. With India pushing towards a knowledge-based digital economy, startups have an extremely great future. India is an under-penetrated market as far as start-ups are concerned. Since India is looking forward to $ 5 trillion economies by 2025, we must encourage startups as they can play a pivotal role in shaping India’s economy.”

ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY
“It’s important to have a purpose in life, I find my purpose to serve SMEs,” says Manoj.

After interviewing 400 SMEs he understood Sales & identifying the manpower for the organisation as the biggest challenge. This is where I come into the picture. I help SMEs right from identifying the talent to set up a strong sales process and systems for the smooth functioning of their business.

Manoj has listed down the pain points and has started working on them. He comprehended that the owners are the ones involved in the day-to-day firefighting of business. They do not have the time to think about the business and grow. Jumping from one crisis to another. They are the supreme executioners and are involved in getting sales, going behind outstanding dues, production & procurement of raw material, inventory management. No building systems and processes. Far from technology!

SMEs do not perform any kind of marketing activities to generate leads for their sales. They are more dependent on referrals and word of mouth publicity.

No HR, no policies framework. They do not put enough time, effort and money to build the right team. No Performance management structure, no reward & recognition culture, and no one celebrate progress.

Manoj has developed processes and systems to help SMEs to drive their business. People may fail but not the systems and processes. Building systems will reduce the dependency on the SME and their teams. Manoj sits with business owners and teaches them how to look at the data and do the business analysis. Our business analysis has worked wonders for SMEs making them understand what the business threat or competition threat to them could be.

Also, he has helped them with putting the organizational structure to run the business effectively and has pushed them to chase bigger visions. He keeps them in action mode to implement what they learn while equipping them with new skills, knowledge and strategies. To sum it up, Manoj has given SMEs three mantras to work towards excellence – Clarity, Competence & Culture.

FUTURE ENDEAVOUR
MANCOM ConsulTECH wants to be the one-stop solution for SMEs. Be it sales, Finance, HR, Inventory, Production, Customer Service, B2B connecting buyers and suppliers through tech Serving, etc., Manoj envisages that SMEs should be looking at the bigger picture of growth and start competing with big companies.

WORDS OF WISDOM
“Firstly, one needs to have a purpose. Anybody who has a purpose will surely flourish in entrepreneurship. Being an entrepreneur also means you are helping society in many ways. I firmly believe serving is the best religion.” My core values as a servant leader remain firm.
