Empowering India's MSMEs

Automation used to be something only big businesses considered. But today, it's a game-changer for India's Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), who need every edge they can get to stay competitive. Automation helps MSMEs become more efficient, cut out repetitive tasks, and hold their own against the big players. Kewal Kishan, Founder, Automate Business, has helped thousands of MSMEs boost productivity using automation, and his insights offer a clear roadmap for those ready to take the leap.

Here, we'll break down automation basics, outline essential tech for MSMEs, and offer a practical guide for getting started-even on a budget. We'll also tackle common hurdles like budget and change resistance and why automation can pay off in a big way for businesses looking to grow and adapt.

▼ Automation: The Essentials Every Business Can Use

When people hear "automation," they might imagine fancy gadgets and complex software. But Kishan says it's much simpler than that-automation starts with the basics. He breaks it down into five easy-to-follow steps:

Data Entry: Automation starts with capturing accurate data. From tracking customer inquiries to pulling sales info from Facebook ads, structured data is the foundation.

Data Management: Once data's in, it needs a safe and accessible place to live. Cloud systems make it easy to store, manage, and keep information secure without a hassle.

Business Reporting: With data managed, it's time to find insights. Tracking key metrics like customer inquiries and sales helps MSMEs get a clear snapshot of what's working-and what's not.

Notifications and Reminders: Automated updates ensure everyone's on the same page. Whether it's notifying customers about a sale or reminding team members of tasks, these alerts keep things running smoothly.
