Self-reliant India not confident in scheme, thirsty for cash 42 per cent startup-MSE: Survey


New delhi date. 15 June 2020, Monday

In addition to India's startups, small and medium enterprises are running out of cash due to the Koro crisis. Even through the self-reliant India campaign, these units are not getting any help. A study by local circles found that 42 per cent of industries were facing severe cash shortages.

According to the survey, 38 per cent industries have no cash left and 4 per cent enterprises are shutting down their businesses due to all sorts of problems caused by the lockdown. About 30 per cent of businesses said they had enough cash to last three or four months. The 16 per cent of the industries surveyed said they have enough cash left over to run the next 3-4 months.

Local Circles is a community social media platform and surveyed 8,400 startups, more than 28,000 people involved in the industry.

No special advantage of Unlock-1

According to the study, Unlock-1's business is being affected but the vehicle has not hit any special tracks. During April-June, the contribution of cash-strapped startups and SMEs increased from 27 per cent to 42 per cent. The revenue of the organizations has dropped by 80 to 90 per cent during the last two months so it will be very difficult for them to run their own business in the future.

What is the benefit of self-reliant India scheme?

The Modi government has announced a self-sufficient India package of Rs 3 lakh crore for micro, small and medium enterprises. The survey questioned whether the package would be of any use, with 57 per cent of entrepreneurs saying no. This means that they will not get any benefit from this huge scheme of the government. Other than that, 29 per cent of executives said there was currently no way to say whether there would be any benefit.

Fourteen per cent of executives surveyed said there would be no benefit from the scheme. In fact, the scheme will only benefit those who already have a debt burden on their account. Most startup venture banks raise capital not through loans but through capital funding so it seems difficult to reap the benefits.

According to the survey, most of the startups and small entrepreneurs are trying to reduce the cost of their business and keep their business afloat during this difficult time of Covid-19. Sixty-four percent of executives surveyed reported cutting or avoiding marketing costs.

Talk of relief

However, the relief is that there is growing confidence in the startup that the situation will improve going forward. Executives, who are confident the situation will improve in the next six months, rose to 35 per cent in June from 13 per cent in April.
