AI solutions exist. But can MSMEs actually adopt them? In this snippet, Shri Bhuvnesh Kumar (CEO, UIDAI and National Institute for Smart Government (NISG)) highlights a critical gap— AI will not scale unless it is affordable, practical, and grounded in real enterprise needs. Through a joint effort with NISG and Athena Infonomics, the focus is on understanding: • What MSMEs are ready for • Which solutions are viable today • And whether these solutions are within reach With a sector focus on textiles, pharmaceuticals, and electronics, this work takes a cluster-based, on-ground approach, because adoption doesn’t happen in theory, it happens in context. As India moves toward becoming one of the world’s largest economies, AI’s role will be defined by how effectively it works for MSMEs. #indiaaiimpactsummit2026
