One Stop Information Destination for MSME Entrepreneurs………

The Need

Indian Industries Association(IIA)-an apex body of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises(MSME), founded in 1985, over the years of its operation realized that the lack of easy access to information supports are a key bottleneck in the development of MSME’s. Information, being the key input in ensuring competitiveness of any sector cannot be ignored, hence, IIA pondered over the idea of setting up an information facility for MSMEs which would enable easy, efficient and low cost access to information under one roof.

Thus, MSME KNOWLEDGE BANK(MKB) came into existence as a joint venture of IIA and SIDBI in the year 2003.

Our outlook is to drive MSME’S towards Excellence through the Power of Information.
