Why don’t MSMEs get growth capital? When Navin Suri suggested I write something on SMEs for FutureMatters, I was in 2 minds…I hadn’t written anything in a long time and was understandably anxious, yet this  was an opportunity to share my thoughts on a segment that I am passionate about…and I chose the latter, my first foray into writing. There is no single factor that contributes to the huge financing gap for SMEs but multiple issues, all of which need fixing to address this gap. Clearly digitisation and increased SME digital footprint have increased and many SME focused lenders particularly Fintechs like Validus are making a difference and reimagining credit approaches. But this is still not enough.  A trusted public/ private infrastructure that gives greater access and visibility of data to all participants and creates institutional trust is the need to of the hour for the situation to change. I big thank you to Elevandi for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts and a special terima kasih to Navin Suri for his unstinted support, guidance and help on making this article come alive. Do take a few minutes and please send me your comments and suggestions. Singapore FinTech Festival / Sopnendu Mohanty / Point Zero Forum / Validus

Thanks to the Japan FinTech Festival for the invitation to participate in the roundtable session, "Digital assets: The path to commercialization & institutional adoption." During our discussion, we discussed the complexities surrounding regulations, inconsistent frameworks, and hurdles related to scalability and interoperability. Together with my other panelists, we explored innovative strategies aimed at navigating these obstacles and paving the way for digital asset projects to achieve broad commercialization. At Alta (formerly Fundnel), these are challenges we face every day. Once seemingly insurmountable, today we are tackling these as part of a community of innovators, regulators, and other stakeholders, all of whom recognize the possibilities as we unlock and democratize private markets. A big thank you once again to the Japan Fintech Festival for facilitating this invaluable exchange of ideas and perspectives!
