As the Chief Guest at an MSME summit organized by industry bodies alongside the Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC), he emphasized that the growth of these enterprises is the pathway that will propel India towards becoming an economic superpower.
The summit's theme — ‘Empowering MSMEs, Connecting Globally’ — was pivotal for discussions related to Artificial Intelligence, digital adoption in MSMEs, export strategies, as well as women and youth entrepreneurship, and enhancing international competitiveness.

“The strength of India lies not only in its large industries but in the myriad small dreams that countless MSME entrepreneurs realize daily. Together, these dreams illuminate the path towards India's development,” stated Gupta.
He encouraged entrepreneurs to transition from “Make in India” to “Made for the World,” a vision inspired by PM Modi, asserting that innovation, quality enhancement, and integration with global supply chains are essential for achieving this aim.
Moreover, he urged women and youth to seize the opportunities arising from government policies, international collaborations, and initiatives like this summit.
“Let us unite in our commitment to empower India’s MSMEs to become global leaders in trade and innovation,” he concluded.
“By leveraging our entrepreneurial spirit, technological advancements, and cultural strengths, we can transform our economy into a dynamic force that fosters inclusive growth,” he stated.
