Indian MSME sector shifting towards cross border trade: PayPal Survey

New Delhi, Jan 20 (KNN) As per PayPal Survey on MSME Digital Readiness, MSMEs in India are focusing on cross border trade and social selling to stabilise their businesses in the post pandemic market. 

Adoption of technology for a seamless checkout experience which would lead to a greater share of consumer wallets has also been a growing business strategy, the survey revealed. 

To understand the online presence of MSMEs and their approach towards digitalisation to tap global opportunities was the key objective of the survey.
