FIEO said more than 2,000 small businesses have already joined, listing over 40,000 products and services. FIEO will promote the marketplace worldwide.

Minister of State for Commerce & Industry Anupriya Patel, who was present at the launch, said the portal addresses some elements of the government’s commitments, such as digitizing exporters, supporting MSMEs, and encouraging more significant exports of Made in India products.

“It is witnessed during the pandemic that online platforms such as e-commerce have shown immense potential in supporting millions of businesses to sustain themselves,” she stressed.
