Indian economy is stuck in a vicious cycle

7. Popular prescription
▪ Pump in investment for production for global consumption in the hope that
it will generate employment, which will lead to increase in domestic demand
and which in turn will lead to stabilizing on a higher plane.
▪ This approach ignores existing unproductive investment in large number of
SMEs which account for more than 50% of domestic output as well as
employment.

8. The Market Problem
▪ SME’s account for >50% of Manufacturing output, investment and
employment in India.
▪ Many start-ups come into existence but their survival rate is dismal.
▪ 20% survive after 5 years and only 4% after 10 Years
▪ Only a small fraction develop into the high-growth firms which make
important contributions to job creation.
▪ Such high mortality results in wastage of scarce resources and reduces
productivity of economy as a whole.

9. THE SMEs SCENARIO TODAY
▪ Only 20% of the start-ups survive after 5 years
▪ Only 4% of the start-ups survive after 10 years

10. A known fact!
▪ An SME owner usually has to wear many hats - CEO, accountant, human
resources manager, purchasing manager, financial officer
▪ In most of these fields she lacks adequate management skills
▪ This usually results in a number of mistakes, including poor time management,
inadequate record keeping and financial controls, pricing mistakes, faulty hiring,
and so on.

11. SME Owners spend
considerable time
in fire-fighting
SME Owner is hard
pressed to spend
time on planning
for the future or
implement robust
systems
Resources and
opportunities are
wasted
SME struggles to
make ends meet.
Profits are
negligible.
SME finds it
difficult to attract
and retain talent
Sustaining any
improvement
initiative to its
logical conclusion
is difficult
SME owners are stuck in a vicious cycle

12. SME Entrepreneur’s Dilemma
A: Do well now
as well as in
future
C: Build for
Future
B: Protect the
current status
D’: Focus on new
initiatives
D: Focus on day to

13. Our Insight
▪ SMB owner is handicapped by lack of steady talent in her team. Focus is the key
ingredient to conserve limited time and attention.
▪ Every improvement is a CHANGE, but not every change is an IMPROVEMENT.
SMB owner stumbles around in the futile search of ‘that’ change which would
lead to growth and stability
▪ Where to “FOCUS” is the key challenge?

area of focus, designing the desired change and implementing the same in a
true WIN-WIN fashion. Viable case studies exist (Top-line  Bottom-line in 4
years)
▪ Improvement focus areas taken up sequentially afford a steep learning curve for
the SMB owner and her team.

mass production), Distribution, Project Management and a critical mass of global
success stories.
