The Milagrow World SME Conference concluded successfully on the 13th of December 2008. The conference was a tremendous success, and I'm not shooting off the cuff here. The success of the conference is measurable in terms of the number of speakers, number of delegates, Press attendance, number of Partners, profitability, number of press ads etc.
The conference to an outsider would look like Mission Impossible part I - II - III combined, but here at Milagrow, as with any other projects, we are strivers. The conference was properly conceived and though we were on a road less travelled, we were sure of the positiveness of the outcome. The idea was conceived almost a year back with basically two ideas:
I. Bring Global MSMEs on a common platform to interact with each other as well as with industry captains and govt officials to interact and understand the challenges faced by the MSME ecosystem.
II. Take a leap as an authority in the MSME space in India
Based on these ideas, the development of the conference began. This started with creation of the compilation of the ideas and output we expected to achieve from the conference and what was our plan to achieve the same. Mind you, at this point in time, Milagrow was just a young organisation - less than 1 year old! But, the difference between Milagrow and any other organization is that we dream big and then strive to achieve that dream.
