MSMEs, Let's Go Digital?

By Piyush Singh - Entrepreneur & FinTech Specialist in MSME Digitalisation

What really happens when India's Nano and MSMEs meet the digital world?

From the bustling chaos of street vendors to the quiet resilience of factory owners, MSMEs, Let's Go Digital? Journeys through 43 real and raw apprehensions that nano, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) face when the word "digital" enters their minds, or their world.

Drawing from years of fieldwork, consulting, and enterprise building across India's urban and rural heartlands, the author, an entrepreneur deeply embedded in the FinTech and MSME digitalisation ecosystem, unravels why going digital is not just about technology, but about trust, fear, culture, and identity.

Written by someone who works alongside Nano, MSMEs, struggles with them, and supports their journey to understand, learn, and scale through digital skills, tools, and systems, with and beyond government support, this book captures transformation as it truly unfolds on the ground.

Each story in this book is a mirror, sometimes hopeful, sometimes hesitant, reflecting how India's entrepreneurs grapple with change, question its relevance, and often unknowingly take their first steps toward transformation.

Whether you're a policymaker shaping the digital economy, a financial institution designing inclusive solutions, a consultant guiding adoption, a philanthropic organisation, a multilateral working in the Nano, MSME digitalisation domain, or an entrepreneur standing at the edge of decision, this book helps you see digitalisation from the inside out.

Not a manual. Not a manifesto.
Not a push toward "Digital," but a gentle guide through stories woven into the realities of India, that is Bharat.

A conversation between progress and pause.

A must-read for anyone who believes India's digital future begins not in boardrooms, but in backrooms, bazaars, and small-town workshops where dreams of growth quietly persist.
