&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;In collaboration with Poornatha, this endeavour by United Commercial Bank (UCO Bank) seeks to stimulate MSME sector growth through the provision of substantial mentorship support and the promotion of entrepreneurship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;'UCO Empower' is anticipated to provide MSME entrepreneurs with essential tools and guidance, thereby making a substantial contribution to the nation's economic objectives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Ashwani Kumar, the Managing Director and CEO of UCO Bank, underscored the significance of empowering the MSME sector. He highlighted the imperative of empowering the MSME sector and asserted that 'UCO Empower' is specifically designed to focus on enhancing its potential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Poornatha, represented by its co-founder Suresh during the launch, expressed the company's commitment to playing a significant role in this endeavour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Beyond empowering individual entrepreneurs, this initiative is about propelling India toward its ambitious USD 5-trillion economy goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
