The Indian corporate training market is booming, projected to reach INR 13,300 crores by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%. This growth is driven by the recognition of the importance of upskilling and reskilling in today's fast-paced business landscape. However, despite this growth, there is a significant gap in the corporate training landscape - the MSME sector. Let us explores the importance of corporate training for MSME’s in India. With a focus on upskilling and reskilling, we discuss the current state of the industry, the challenges MSMEs face, and the potential benefits of tailored corporate training programs. We also highlight the existing gaps in the current training landscape and suggest ways to address them, ultimately empowering MSMEs to contribute to India's economic growth and prosperity.
MSMEs - the Backbone of India's Economy
India's MSME sector is the backbone of the economy, comprising over 63 million units, employing over 120 million people, and contributing 30% to the country's GDP. The sector is diverse, with 96% of MSMEs being micro-enterprises, 3.5% small, and 0.5% medium. Key players in the MSME sector include auto components, textiles, and food processing industries. Despite their significant contribution to the economy, MSMEs face numerous challenges, including limited resources, intense competition, and rapidly changing technologies.

Need for Corporate Training in MSMEs
Corporate training is essential for MSMEs to enhance their skills, knowledge, and performance, leading to improved productivity, efficiency, and profitability. However, the majority of corporate training programs focus on IT and AI, neglecting the needs of product manufacturing MSMEs. This neglect leaves a significant skill gap, hindering the growth and competitiveness of MSMEs.

Existing Corporate Training Providers
Several companies, such as Infosys Springboard, Walmart India, Hindustan Unilever, and Tata Steel, offer corporate training programs for MSMEs. However, these programs often focus on large enterprises, leaving a significant gap in the MSME sector. Government tool rooms, established to support MSMEs, are often inefficient and underutilized, failing to provide the necessary support to MSMEs.
Industry-Academic Collaborations - A Missed Opportunity
Industry-academic collaborations prioritize Tier 1 companies, overlooking MSMEs. This neglect deprives MSMEs of the opportunity to benefit from industry-academic collaborations, hindering their growth and competitiveness. Students who join MSMEs can benefit from faster career growth, higher salary hikes, and the opportunity to become key players in the company. However, this potential is often overlooked, leading to a significant brain drain in the MSME sector.
