FLO Indore, under the leadership of Chairperson Vandana Gujrati, participated in the MSME Connect Indore 2026 event, hosted by Walmart Vriddhi, in partnership with its strategic implementation partner, the Ideas to Impact Foundation (i2i), and the Department of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Government of Madhya Pradesh).
Held at the Brilliant Convention Centre, Indore, the session brought together key dignitaries and corporate leadership, including Shri Raghavendra Kumar Singh (Principal Secretary, MSME), Shri Shivam Verma (Collector and District Magistrate, Indore), senior leadership from Walmart and Flipkart, and Mr. Parul Soni (Trustee and President, Ideas to Impact Foundation). The primary objective of the initiative was to empower micro, small, and medium enterprises across Madhya Pradesh to build digital capabilities, scale operations, and access expanded domestic and global markets.
During the event, approximately 20 participating FLO Indore members and women entrepreneurs gained actionable strategies for digital storefront onboarding, cross-border e-commerce expansion on Walmart Marketplace, and national retail distribution via Flipkart. By bridging regional enterprise potential with structured mentorship, policy frameworks, and tech-enabled supply chains, the collaborative effort significantly strengthened the regional MSME ecosystem to drive sustainable, long-term business growth.
