In CRM for Business episode of MSME TALK we will learn about CRM for small businesses, types of CRM, benefits & applicability for small businesses, how small businesses can implement the CRM, how return on investment made in CRM can be calculated and much more from Adarsh Noronha.

A report by Cisco gives gives us a picture how the pandemic has evolved digitisation – While the majority( over 70 %) of small businesses have already started their digitalization journeys due to crisis- 26% of small businesses remain in status quo mode – they have remained largely reactive to market changes and have made little effort to digitally transform.

As technology is changing the world it is kind of mandatory for businesses to get digitalised.
There are many ways through which digitalisation can be done.

• Automation of the core business processes is the most critical part of digital transformation.
• Businesses looking to automate core business processes typically look at two main software solutions, enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM).

Adarsh Noronha is Country Director for Hubspot India and SAARC.
Prior to Hubspot Adarsh held leadership positions at Salesforce ,Oracle and Informatica. Adarsh holds over 2 decades of experience in leading clients in digital Transformation.

Govt Scheme to Save Energy and cost for MSMEs

The Government of India has launched a scheme called ADEETIE (Assistance in Deploying Energy Efficient Technologies in Industries & Establishments) 💡to help MSMEs save energy, reduce electricity bills, and grow faster.

What MSMEs Will Get:
Subsidy (discount) on loans to buy energy-saving machines
Expert help and advice to improve energy use
New energy-efficient tools and technology
Awards and recognition for saving energy

The scheme is based on successful projects already done in Andhra Pradesh for MSMEs in gold, jewellery, pharma, and food processing. These businesses saved money and reduced pollution — now it’s being expanded across India.

This is part of India’s mission to:
Use less energy per unit of production by 2030
Become a Net Zero (carbon-neutral) country by 2070
Visit the ADEETIE portal and fill out the “Willingness Form” or Expression of Interest to register your interest
Scheme runs until FY 2027–28, with enrolments open up to 31 March 2028

ADEETIE Portal: adeetie.beeindia.gov.in
