Inclusive Globalization and Collaborative Innovation as Drivers of Rural MSME Development in India: Challenges, Strategies and Pathways

Nikhil Saket · 2026

Summary. Rural micro, small and medium enterprises in India face barriers including poor infrastructure, limited credit, and weak market connections.

Case studies from Indian clusters and incubation models demonstrate how cluster development, public-private partnerships, and digital platforms drive rural MSME growth.
