SME Landscape
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a major role in most economies and contribute up to 60% of total employment and up to 40% of national income (GDP) in emerging economies. For the IT-BPM Sector, SMEs are the hotbed for innovation.
SMEs account for 80% of NASSCOM’s 2500-odd member base and a similar composition is believed to be applicable for the Indian IT BPM industry. SMEs in India are spread across all the key industry sub sectors - IT Services, BPM, Products & Engineering R&D.
The SME council has been created in 2017 as a platform to enable these companies to grow to the next level and collectively derive value from the NASSCOM platform – knowledge dissemination & best practices, Networking & Connects, Policy Advocacy and Brand Building.
