Walmart understands that micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are vital to India, especially now as the sector recovers from Covid-19. With Walmart Vriddhi, we are helping MSMEs expand their domestic capabilities and participate in global supply chains so they can build sustainable businesses, create new jobs and help India increase exports and be more self-sufficient in the future. Our aim is to train and prepare 50,000 Indian small businesses to “Make in India” for local and global supply chains.
Walmart Vriddhi is uniquely open and expansive
Equips you for both online and offline growth, helping you to potentially become a part of the supply chains of Flipkart, Best Price B2B stores and Walmart Global Sourcing, or those of other domestic and international companies. It will equip you to take advantage of opportunities in the corporate and e-commerce supply chain, public procurement and export markets.
It gives you access to a two-year programme of tailored training and expert one-on-one advice, as well as a network of peers and mentors in your local community. Training will cover all aspects of business management to empower entrepreneurs, including women business owners, in your region for lasting success.
Walmart Vriddhi is tailored for your enterprise journey
It has four levels of training and individual
consulting support, and all are free. You can
seek support at any level and advance through
the levels as you build your capacity.
It leverages the supply chains, supplier ecosystems and certification and onboarding programmes of the Walmart businesses in India, including Flipkart, Best Price stores, and Walmart international, as well as the local knowledge of Swasti.
Walmart Vriddhi welcomes MSMEs with the
desire and potential to grow.
