MSME entrepreneurs should come under Start up umbrella

Micro, small & medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Odisha need to come under the Start up umbrella to avail a string of incentives offered by the state government.
 

Acknowledging the generational shift of MSMEs, Hemant Sharma, secretary, industries & MSME, Odisha government said, “Previously, we were interacting with the first generation entrepreneurs. Now, we are interacting with second and third generation entrepreneurs. I feel this is positive development for the MSME sector in Odisha since this is not a nationwide phenomenon”.
 

He said, setting up a business under the start up framework has become easier though it wasn’t easy five years
