Blinkit Partners with MSME to Sell PM Vishwakarma Artisans' Products in Bengaluru Pilot
The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) has partnered with quick-commerce platform Blinkit to pilot the sale of handcrafted products made by artisans under the PM Vishwakarma scheme in Bengaluru. The initiative aims to expand market access for beneficiaries by listing items like pottery, dolls, and toys on Blinkit's app, with plans to extend to other cities. The scheme, launched in September 2023, supports artisans with training, toolkits, loans, and marketing assistance to enhance their digital commerce capabilities.
