By combining NSIC’s trusted ecosystem with IndusInd Bank’s financial expertise and digital capabilities, the collaboration seeks to bridge credit gaps, enable MSMEs to participate more effectively in larger markets, and support the government’s vision of self-reliance and inclusive economic progress.
