The initiative sought to connect Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs), Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and financial institutions to facilitate vendor relationships and promote credit and supply chain linkages. Organisers said the sessions were intended to help participants identify vendor opportunities with government and corporate buyers and increase awareness of central and state schemes that support competitiveness. The programme also emphasised practical steps for market entry and compliance to support sustainable growth.

Representatives from the State GST Department, State Bank of India (SBI), Nagaland Handloom and Handicrafts Development Corporation (NHHDC), Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) and Nagaland State Co-operative Bank addressed participants on GST compliance, vendor development and credit linkages. The sessions included guidance on promoting indigenous products under RAMP’s Naturally Nagaland initiative and on listing through the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) and other online platforms. Presenters also outlined support available for handloom and handicraft producers and for enterprises focused on food processing, weaving and retail.

The programme featured experience sharing by two local entrepreneurs who outlined their journeys and practical approaches to help peers understand operational challenges and market strategies. An exhibition showcased products from food processing, handloom, handicrafts, weaving, agriculture, retail and service enterprises and aimed to stimulate direct buyer interest. YouthNet said similar programmes will be organised in other districts to further empower MSMEs and to strengthen Nagaland’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.
