Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Transfer of Knowledge to Empower MSME

 


===================================================


https://empowermsme.blogspot.com/


A No-Cost, High-Impact National Asset for DPIIT

Dear Shri Piyush Goyalji,


(piyush.goyal@gov.in)


A few days ago, I came across the following encouraging news:


Context


DPIIT inks pacts with over 50 firms to promote manufacturing &

 innovation for startups — ET (09 Nov 2025)


The report highlights your Ministry’s remarkable initiative to bring together

 corporates, unicorns, and industry bodies to build manufacturing-focused

 incubators that support product startups with:


  • Pilot manufacturing

  • Prototyping and design support

  • Test beds

  • Technology management

  • Market access

  • Risk capital


This is a transformative step for India’s manufacturing future.



My Earlier Aligned Initiative (2017): EmpowerMSME

More than eight years ago, with support from Shri Anil Naik (then Chairman, L&T),

 I created and tested a portal called EmpowerMSME — built on the same

 fundamental question that DPIIT is addressing today:


“How can 5,000 large Indian companies transfer their

 

accumulated knowledge to 65 million MSMEs, so that these

 

MSMEs can grow faster, reduce errors, and scale sustainably?”

 

My conclusion was straightforward:

Corporate knowledge lives inside thousands of documents and templates

 that MSMEs do not have access to.


For example:


  • Purchase Orders

  • Quotations

  • Delivery Challans

  • Invoices

  • Sales Orders

  • Stores Credit Notes

  • Cash Memos

  • Kardex Cards

  • HR Offer Letters

  • Vendor Registration Forms
    … and hundreds more.


If large companies upload their non-confidential formats to a central public

 portal, MSMEs across India can instantly:


  • adopt best-practice formats,

  • reduce documentation mistakes,

  • improve compliance,

  • boost productivity, and

  • strengthen quality systems.


This is exactly the kind of plug-and-play empowerment that incubators strive to

 provide.



My Humble Offer to DPIIT 

(Completely Free of Cost)


(A) I will re-develop “EmpowerMSME.com” entirely at my own expense

This time enhanced with:

  • AI-powered chat interface,

  • smart search,

  • deep template categorisation,

  • upload workflows for corporates,

  • download dashboards for MSMEs.


After completion, I will transfer the entire platform — without any conditions

 — to DPIIT.


OR :


(B) I will personally help your IT team recreate the enhanced portal, based on:

No payment.


No expectations

.

No recognition sought.


Just a contribution to nation building.



Why This Matters Now

DPIIT’s manufacturing-incubator push needs shared tools, shared processes,

 and shared templates that can be adopted by tens of millions of MSMEs without

 waiting for a mentor or an incubator.


EmpowerMSME can become the National “Template Bank of

 

India” — the soft infrastructure powering India’s MSME

 

transformation.

 

In one stroke, MSMEs get access to the documentation wisdom of India’s largest

 companies.


A Personal Note


In 1945, as a child, I had the privilege of attending Mahatma Gandhiji’s evening

 prayer meeting at Birla House in Mumbai.


One bhajan from that day — “Vaishnav Jan To…” — has stayed with me for 80

 years.

Today, with your permission, I wish to follow its spirit by offering this work as a

 service to the nation.


With warm regards,

Hemen Parekh
