About the Initiative
The Odisha MSME & Enterprise Growth Enablement Program is a strategic enterprise development initiative designed to strengthen the growth ecosystem for micro, small, and emerging enterprises across Odisha and Jharkhand.
The programme begins with a comprehensive Baseline Survey & Need Assessment aimed at identifying high-potential enterprises, mapping critical growth barriers, and building a data-driven roadmap for long-term enterprise incubation and CSR-led economic development.
Implemented by Bhubaneswar City Knowledge Innovation Cluster (BCKIC Foundation), the initiative focuses on creating scalable pathways for enterprise formalization, sustainability, market access, financial readiness, and livelihood generation.
Program Coverage
Project Geography
To build an inclusive, sustainable, and innovation-driven MSME ecosystem that enables small enterprises to scale, formalize, access markets, and create long-term socio-economic impact.
Why This Initiative Matters
Odisha and Jharkhand together host millions of micro and small enterprises that form the backbone of local livelihoods and rural economies.
However, a large percentage of enterprises continue to struggle with:
Limited access to finance
Weak market linkages
Poor formalization and compliance
Technology gaps
Low business visibility
Limited ecosystem support
Inadequate sustainability integration
Many enterprises remain operational but are unable to scale — creating a critical “missing middle” challenge between livelihood-level businesses and growth-ready MSMEs.
This initiative addresses that gap through evidence-based diagnostics, enterprise readiness assessment, and ecosystem mapping.

The MSME Challenge
Despite multiple government initiatives and schemes, many enterprises continue to remain excluded from structured growth ecosystems because:
Support systems are fragmented
Enterprises lack diagnostic visibility
Most businesses are semi-formal
Access to credit and compliance systems remains limited
Market integration is weak
This creates a significant opportunity for CSR-led catalytic support that is:
Enterprise-driven
Data-backed
Sector-focused
Scalable
Impact-oriented
