Sumvaad launches Udyam Suchi to make Indian MSME businesses easier to discover

Sumvaad has announced the launch of Udhyam Suchi, a structured index designed to help Indian MSMEs present their business and become easier to discover by other businesses.

Across India, millions of small and medium enterprises manufacture products, supply industrial goods and provide specialised services. Despite their capabilities, many of these businesses remain difficult to discover online. Limited digital presence, weak search visibility and the absence of structured discovery platforms often make it harder for other businesses to identify and reach them.

At the same time, businesses searching for suppliers, manufacturers or professional services frequently encounter another obstacle. Several directories and B2B platforms hide contact details behind subscriptions, credit systems or mandatory registrations. Businesses may discover a supplier but still face barriers before they can directly speak with them.

Udhyam Suchi has been created to remove this friction.

The platform provides a structured space where MSMEs can publish a business profile describing what they do, the industries they serve, and how other businesses can contact them. Visitors exploring the index can browse businesses by industry category and reach them directly.

Unlike many directories, contact details on Udhyam Suchi are not masked. Any visitor can directly connect with a listed business without needing to purchase credits or sign up for a subscription.

According to the founder of Sumvaad:

“Indian MSMEs build remarkable businesses, but many of them remain difficult to discover outside their immediate networks. Our goal with Udhyam Suchi is simple: give legitimate businesses a credible place where they can present who they are and allow other businesses to reach them directly.”

The index initially includes businesses across major MSME sectors such as textile and apparel, food and FMCG, industrial products, chemicals and materials, packaging and printing, and electrical and electronics. Professional services that support MSMEs are also included.

Businesses wishing to publish their profile must operate as a legitimate GST-registered enterprise. Each listing is reviewed before publication to maintain credibility and accuracy. Businesses can apply to publish their listing through the Udhyam Suchi section on the Sumvaad platform.
