New Delhi, Apr 26 (KNN) Tide, UK’s leading business financial platform on Tuesday launched the MSME exchange programme in India to help UK business in India and Indian business in the UK.

With the aim to globalise entrepreneurship, British High Commissioner to India, Alex Ellis during the exchange programme said that it will boost businesses as well as the creation of jobs.

“Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have reiterated the huge opportunities that closer trade and investment ties offer to British and Indian businesses and consumers. Our investment relationship already supports nearly half a million jobs in each other’s economies,” said Ellis.

“Creating direct linkages between growing businesses from both countries will take us further. I congratulate Tide on adding to the India-UK success story,” he added.

Showing enthusiasm about the Indian market, Tide’s CEO Oliver Prill praised India and said that MSME Exchange Programme is a huge step towards championing small businesses.

“We know that small business owners in India and the UK have shored ambitions, including exporting their goods and services between the two countries, which share historic ties. The MEP will deliver an exchange of ideas and know-how that small business owners from both countries can turn into concrete action,” he said.

The MSME exchange programme is an industry-first initiative by any fintech company working in India’s MSME ecosystem. MEP will enable smaller entrepreneurs to widen and sharpen their business knowledge, and ultimately to grow their businesses.  (KNN Bureau)
