Maharashtra is one of the most industrialised states in
India. Every major town and city in the state supports a well planned
industrial area developed by Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC).
MIDC provides businesses with infrastructure such as land (open plot or
built-up spaces), roads, water supply, drainage facilities and street lights.
What I mean to say is that there is government support for industrialisation in
the state.
Despite all the support provided by the Government, today
“The Times of India” reported today that the state government has declared
70,000 out of 233,000 Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) registered in the
state as sick. That is a whopping 30% companies.
MSEs are, as the name suggests small enterprises with
limited resources. The three main resources required to operate any enterprise
are land, labour and capital. Out of these, capital plays a very important role
because acquisition and retention of land and labour would depend on the funds
that are available with firms. The funds are required for procuring raw
material, paying salaries, paying power bills, marketing etc which are all
essential for running the business.
However, in today’s competitive world, products and
technologies become obsolete fast and to keep a business relevant and hence
successful it is essential to keep track of various technical developments
taking place in the chosen sector as well as to search and execute new business
opportunities. These activities may not appear to be part of the core business
of producing and selling products, but are extremely essential for sustenance
of the business.
The first casualties when the business slows down are
training, R&D and marketing. However, these are essential for future growth
of the business. People with experience in running successful businesses, with
technical background and with global exposure are few and cost money to hire.
MSEs are obviously not in a position to hire and keep such people on roll. But
they need them to grow and to turn around their businesses when required. So,
they need such people on demand.
For growth of MSEs it is essential that the learning from
bigger corporate percolate down to them on demand and at an affordable cost.
