The Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) is the apex development financial institution dedicated to powering India’s Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) ecosystem. Since its establishment, SIDBI has been at the forefront of funding innovation, promoting entrepreneurship, and enabling livelihood creation across India’s economic landscape.
SIDBI’s work goes beyond financing—it’s about building inclusive growth models, supporting underrepresented entrepreneurs (especially women and marginalized groups), fostering green and sustainable practices, and building long-term resilience among small businesses in both urban and rural areas.
From providing financial literacy to last-mile funding, from innovation clusters to small town businesses, SIDBI touches lives that often remain unseen and unheard in traditional economic narratives.
