Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a major role in the Indian economy, contributing over 40% of industrial output, exports, and employment. They face some challenges including outdated technology, lack of management skills, delayed payments, and insufficient infrastructure.

Family businesses also make significant contributions in India and globally, though only a small percentage survive beyond the third generation due to management challenges.
