FICCI FLO Ahmedabad’s Financial Literacy Vertical organised “Growth Gateway: Financial Literacy, Government Policies & Schemes for MSMEs” on 11th June 2026, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, at Le Meridien, Ahmedabad. The event brought together members of the FLO Power Circle and MSME Vertical for an afternoon centred on financial literacy, policy awareness, and enterprise growth.
CA Shikha Agarwal, a finance and business advisor with 18 years of experience, then addressed the gathering with practical perspectives on finance, enterprise management, and business advisory awareness — offering members grounded, actionable insight rather than abstract theory. She was followed by Shri Ashutosh Tripathy, IEDS, who spoke on the evolving MSME ecosystem, government policies, entrepreneurship development, and innovation-led growth, framing MSMEs as central to India’s Viksit Bharat vision.
Building on these discussions, the session created focused awareness about government schemes and financial support opportunities relevant specifically to women-led businesses — an area where information gaps often hold back growth. To round out the practical takeaways, an app demonstration and platform overview were conducted, introducing members to digital tools they could use to network and grow their businesses within the FLO ecosystem.
