The MSME Manufacturing Sector The MSME Contribution • More than 6000 products traditional to hi-tech • 38% Contribution to the GDP in manufacturing • 40 to 45% Contribution to the GDP in Exports • Sustained Annual Growth Rate – 10 % 2
Why Remodelling? Unlimited Opportunities – Limited Resources Unlimited Opportunities • Made in India & Make in India push • Automobile Hub – pushing metal industry, electronics • Increasing Domestic Demand from Defence, Rail, Road, Infrastructure
Limited Resources • • • •
Adequate Trained Workforce Affordable Technology Finance accessibility Handling complex documentation 3
Understanding the Models
Model 1: MSME's sharing business The Working • Similar Industries of Small Capacities • One industry takes the order, distributes the same with other manufacturers of similar product
Advantage • Meets the volume and time demand without having a large capacity
Typical Examples • Coimbatore Pump Mfg, Agra Leather Mfg, Jalandhar Tools & Sports, Howrah Foundries…..
Challenges • Few of the industries grow bigger, and start competing with each other • Each Industry has invested in each activity, duplicating machinery & human capital, looses competitiveness in global scenario
4
Understanding the Models
Model 2: Ancillary Manufacturing Cluster The Working • One main or few large industries building up vendors and suppliers and creating a cluster
Advantage • Each workshop is a profit centre, better competitiveness, better operational efficiencies
Typical Examples • Pune, Sanand, V U Nagar, Tatanagar, Vadodara, Pithampur… (a more successful model)
Challenges • If the large industries get limited to 1 or 2, the cluster goes up and down with them • Limited industry sector and client is always a risk for small businesses
5
Understanding the Models
Model 3: MSME Cluster - Vendor Centric Approach The Working • Similar to Model 2, but with MSME’s creating business opportunities • Similar Industries and Similar Minds come together to grow together
Advantage • Larger spread of industry sectors and client base, reduced business risk • Better Competiveness and efficiencies with business owners working together
Typical Examples • V U Nagar, Rajkot, Pune…
Challenges • Trust and Loyalty are key factors, and are very much related to the local culture • Needs clarity in business and money sharing
6
Understanding the Models
Model 4: Dissimilar Industries - Similar Minds The Working • A new growing concept of connecting MSME business owners from distinctly different industries, joining hands to leverage each others businesses and/or create new businesses together
Advantage • Brings synergy of MSME business owners, experiences across sectors, and expertise of varied industries • Allows horizontal growth of business, creating white spaces and creating new businesses • Minimizes Risk of growing vertically in one sector and yet grow turnover & sustainability.
Typical Examples • Rhino’s working with Meemansa (Garment mfg), Ecolibrium (Internet of Things), SkillSonics (Skill Development), Tiino Automation (Weighing & Electronics), Avant Garde Innovation ™(Wind Turbine), Composite Solutions (Business Management)….
Challenges • Limited knowledge of the other partners skillset & sector • Trust & Loyalty in partnership
7
Why Model 4 for MSME’s! Establishment Period (5 to 7 years) • • • •
Establish Product/Process Create Customer Base Generate financial stability Put together at Team
Growth & Stabilisation (Year 7 to Year 15) • Finding the Right Market • Building Assets – Man, Machine & Finance (we feel all is set)
What Next???? – the Dilemma starts • Vertical or Horizontal Growth? • Retention of Team? • Tackling New Entrants & Competition?

Concluding Note for MSME’s Leveraging your Strengths Sharing increases your Strength • Your income with your employees, workers & partners • Your knowledge with your customer and supplier • Your resources & network with your stake holders
Join & Complement Businesses • The faster way to grow is to align with an existing business and leverage your strength • Create a market as 1 + 1 = 11 • Like minded MSME’s of dis-similar businesses are stronger than dissimilar thinking and similar business partnerships 9
