As a time when consumers become extra enthusiastic about shopping, which becomes a great opportunity to boost sales & revenue during the festive season. The festive season in India is becoming more digital than ever due to the pandemic. This webinar will help you to take the right steps at the right time during such festive seasons in India and in years to come.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns have helped tilt customer preferences towards e-commerce platforms, further accelerated with onset of the festive season. This has brought with it a golden opportunity for MSMEs across sectors to reel out of the negative effects of the pandemic on their business. The festive shopping season plays a big part in the lives of MSMEs especially in a state like Rajasthan - a significant multi-product MSME cluster for the country - with MSMEs emerging into a vibrant and dynamic sector. They play a vital role in providing opportunities and employment and contribute significantly towards the development of backward and rural areas of the state. There is a need to support these MSMEs to leverage the opportunities of online platforms to access wider audiences, scale production, accelerate growth, foster livelihood, and help in digital acceleration at large.
