Walmart Vriddhi to Empower 1 Lakh MSMEs by 2028 | BizGossips

Walmart Vriddhi to Empower 100,000 More MSMEs by 2028: A Boost to India's Small Business Ecosystem

In a bold and promising move, Walmart Vriddhi has announced its plan to support an additional 100,000 MSMEs (Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises) in India by 2028. In collaboration with the Ideas to Impact Foundation (i2i), this initiative aims to digitally train and empower local businesses to access both national and international markets.

What is Walmart Vriddhi?

Walmart Vriddhi is a supplier development program launched in 2019 that provides free training, mentorship, and digital tools to small businesses in India. Backed by the scale and expertise of Walmart and Flipkart, the program focuses on helping MSMEs become part of organized retail and global supply chains.

So far, Walmart Vriddhi has enabled 50,000+ MSMEs across India to enhance their operations, improve compliance, and grow through e-commerce.

The New Mission: Empowering 1 Lakh More MSMEs by 2028

This latest announcement aims to double down on efforts to equip small businesses with everything they need to thrive. The partnership with i2i Foundation ensures a wider reach, especially into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, where the need for digital upskilling and business support is most critical.

Program Highlights:

• Free Business Training – Covering everything from pricing and inventory to digital marketing and exports.

• Flipkart Integration Support – Helping MSMEs list and scale on one of India’s biggest e-commerce platforms.

• Global Supply Chain Readiness – Potential access to Walmart’s international sourcing network.

• Local Language & Mobile-Based Learning – Making it inclusive and accessible for grassroots entrepreneurs.

Why This Matters for India

MSMEs are the lifeline of India’s economy, contributing to employment, GDP, and innovation. Yet, they often lack the resources and exposure to compete with larger players. Walmart Vriddhi bridges this gap, offering knowledge, networks, and platforms that can catapult small businesses to new heights.

As the program expands to reach 1 lakh more businesses, this could lead to:

• Greater economic inclusion

• Enhanced digital adoption

• Increased exports and job creation
