Small and medium enterprises, or SMEs, in India are undergoing a big transformation. Earlier, many of these businesses were satisfied with modest profits in lakhs, but now, more and more SMEs are targeting profits in crores. Some are even aiming for ₹100 crore and beyond. This shift has caught the attention of investors who are beginning to see SMEs as serious growth opportunities.
In this video, we talk about why SME investing is becoming popular and why it’s about much more than just meeting listing criteria. Many entrepreneurs believe that once they meet the eligibility requirements for listing, they’ll automatically attract investors. But that’s not the full picture. In reality, investors are more interested in the story behind the business—its vision, growth potential, leadership quality, and how scalable it is. They want to back businesses that are forward-thinking and built to grow, not just those that follow the rules on paper.
We also look at how the SME investment ecosystem has evolved. Today, there are dedicated funds, angel investors, and mentors who support SMEs not just with money, but with strategic guidance and industry connections. This support makes it easier for well-prepared businesses to grow faster and make a real mark in the market.
The Face2Face conversations are part of this mission to educate investors and entrepreneurs. These sessions aim to make complex financial topics like SME investing, algo trading, and value investing easier to understand. By making this knowledge more accessible, we hope to help both retail investors and business owners make smarter decisions.
If you're an entrepreneur, this video will help you understand the importance of being investor-ready. It’s not just about following rules but building trust, showing consistent growth, and being transparent. And if you’re an investor, the video will show you what to really look for in an SME before investing.
In short, the future of SME investing is bright. As these businesses continue to grow and evolve, they offer a powerful opportunity for those who are ready to look beyond the surface and focus on long-term value.
