Why supply chains will power India’s next wave of MSME exporters

As more Indian MSMEs look to expand overseas, logistics is becoming just as important as the product itself.

While technology has made global supply chains more accessible, many small businesses still struggle with customs, fragmented logistics networks, and compliance.

At MSME Sparks 2026, held on June 26 at ITC Gardenia, Bengaluru, Dibyanshu Tripathi, CEO and Co-founder of Hexalog, joined Shivani Muthanna, Senior Director, Content Partnerships, YourStory, for a session titled ‘The Logistics Advantage: Scaling MSMEs Beyond Borders’.

The discussion explored how technology and smarter supply chains can help MSMEs compete globally despite an increasingly uncertain trade environment.

India’s MSMEs contribute nearly 45% of the country’s exports, but many face structural challenges once they enter international markets.
