PMEGP :- The Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) is a credit-linked subsidy programme implemented by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) in India. The scheme aims to generate employment opportunities in rural as well as urban areas by promoting entrepreneurship and setting up of micro-enterprises. Under the PMEGP scheme, financial assistance is provided for establishing new micro-enterprises and for expanding and modernizing existing ones. The assistance is provided in the form of a subsidy and a bank loan. The subsidy component is based on the project cost and varies according to the category of the beneficiary (general category or special category, such as SC/ST/Women/Ex-servicemen/Physically handicapped, etc.). The scheme is administered through the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) at the national level and through State KVIC Directorates, District Industries Centers (DICs), and banks at the state and district levels. The PMEGP aims to encourage first-generation entrepreneurs to start their own ventures and create sustainable employment opportunities. It plays a significant role in promoting micro-enterprises, which are vital for economic growth, employment generation, and balanced regional development. Overall, PMEGP is an important initiative to support entrepreneurship and employment generation in India, particularly in the micro-enterprise sector. Thanks Regards CMA Rakesh Gehlot

【Temasek’s Bold $10 Billion Investment in India 🇮🇳】 -- A Strategic Move Amid China Slowdown In a move that underscores India’s growing significance on the global investment landscape, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, Temasek Holdings, has announced plans to invest $10 billion in India over the next three years. 🇨🇳 This ambitious investment comes at a time when the performance of #Chinese markets has been lackluster, underscoring #India’s importance as one of Temasek’s top two preferred markets globally, alongside the #US. 🇸🇬 Looking at Temasek's #trackrecord, it's impressive to note that they have already deployed around $37 billion in India over the past two decades.. 💡As of 2023, India now makes up 7% of Temasek’s global portfolio by underlying assets, up from 4% in 2020. In 2023 alone, they invested a record $3 billion in the country. What stands out to me is their perspective on India's market dynamics: "India has always commanded a premium due to its growth potential. By identifying and investing in the right businesses, consistently achieved returns that justify the higher valuations" "The capital markets and deal sizes in India have been steadily increasing, thanks to the expanding and maturing financial markets. The current high valuations are justified by the potential for above-average returns," Temasek’s #InvestmentStrategy in India will focus on several key areas, including technology, financial services, healthcare, and consumer goods. 🌡️ For instance, Temasek’s portfolio, Sheares Healthcare Group, healthcare investor, recently invested almost $2 billion in Manipal Health Enterprises Pvt. Ltd, Indian leading muli speciality hospital operator, with total stake of 59% (new 41%) at $4.9 billion valuation. This valuation is justified by Manipal’s strong financial performance, including 1) a revenue of around $488 million, 2) an EBITDA margin of 24% for FY 2023, 3) several millions patient as sticky customers and 4) potential for free cash flow generation. Later, they sold 8% stake to Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala while holding majority shares. Very successful story and foreseen investment. I reckon their increasing investment in India reaffirms the country's status as a pivotal destination for global investors. As someone keenly observing these developments, it's clear that India's market offers tremendous opportunities, and Temasek’s commitment only strengthens this outlook.
