Mr. Sandipan Ray
FROM DIRECTOR’S DESKIt gives me great pleasure to o�cially announce that SMBConnect is planning to launch the 4th series of its annual flagship event “Start-Manage-Expand” in the month of May-June 2017.
Established in the year 2012, SMBConnect works with a vision to support small & medium enterprises of India by building a large networking & knowledge sharing platform with the finest speakers and large pool of SME attendees across nation. We aim to o�er tangible benefits to SMEs through collaboration and with our strong reach we have successfully conducted over 100 business events till now. In the year 2016, we termed SMBConnect as SMBConnect Pragati LLP to have a long term engagement in business.
After a hearty success of Start-Manage-Expand-2016 centered around Business Innovation, we are pepped up for the Season 4 and focusing on “Digitizing SMEs in the GST Era” With GST coming round the corner we expect a significant change in doing business in India. It will impact the tax structure, tax incidence, tax computation, tax payment, compliance, credit utilization and reporting, leading to a complete overhaul of the current indirect tax system. In order to prepare for the implementation of GST policy development and its implications for scenario planning, we aim to empowr knowledge for its prepration. With various benefits of GST and other government schemes, SMEs need to tap the opportunities as they come and unleash long term growth. So with eloquent speakers and around 30,000 SMEs under one roof in 30 cities, SMBConnect aims to deliver most informative sessions and discussions on e�ective strategies on unlocking long term growth for their businesses.
I request you to join us in one of the biggest & most profound events in India “Start-Manage-Expand-2017” and work together in empowering SMEs considered as the growth engine of the economy in utilizing their potential to the fullest and further contributing to the growth of the country.
Best Regards

THEME - “Digitizing SMEs in the GST Era”
There are many government policies & schemes especially designed for SMEs but lack of awareness and the huge gap between the authority and the beneficiary often make it di�cult for these businesses to make the best use of such benefits
Sometimes SMEs simply keep reinventing the wheel without bringing innovation and o�ering something unique to their customers which give them competitive disadvantage and make their business stagnant and average in the long run
There are many SME oriented organizations and government backed agencies which govern SMEs to utilize the foreign business policies for them and expand globally conveniently, but due to lack of knowledge, these enterprises fail to widen their horizons and take the benefits of globalization
Through an informative session on the foreign business policies for SMEs, these enterprises will be able to grab the various opportunities in the foreign market and take their business to new heights with a global brand recognition.

THEME - “Digitizing SMEs in the GST Era”
Lack of proper guidance and many hurdles that come along in this competitive world, many a times the entrepreneurship journey becomes extremely thorny and hence many entrepreneurs give up, shutting their businesses permanently.
Lack of expertise in designing synergies with other businesses restrict SMEs to form good network
When organizations aren’t careful in recruiting the best candidates, the company su�ers in the long run. Also, many a times even after hiring the best employees, companies fail to retain them, losing their assets and incurring losses
The greatest tax reform of India has major positive implication on small businesses but awareness is extremely crucial for such businesses to make the most out of GST.
Many businesses ignore Digital Marketing considering it as an afterthought but not having an online presence means a business does not exist, losing thousands of potential customers every day.
Motivational: What it takes to survive the journey as an entrepreneur and make it a successful one.
Unique Strategies for E�ective B2B Solutions
Managing Employees: Making the HR Game Strong
Impact of GST on Business
The Present & Future of Marketing: Digital Marketing
Impact Present Issue
Successful entrepreneurs sharing their experiences and most e�ective tips to survive during the tough times and the role of mentors in showing the right directions right when businesses are falling apart will help entrepreneurs to choose right strategies to propel their entrepreneurship journey instead of losing hope and giving up.
With the right strategies from the top industry speakers, SMEs will be able to form synergies with other businesses, forming a big network thus helping them in increasing brand visibility and building better connections
With the right advises from the best HR professionals, SMEs will be able to manage their human resources more e�ectively, attracting and retaining the best candidates.
Experts imparting essential knowledge will enlighten SMEs in using GST in their favor and taking its maximum advantage to spur growth.
With all the essentialities and methodologies to excel in digital marketing and reach out to millions at a cost e�ective way recommended by the experienced professionals, SMEs will be able to ace Digital Marketing and accelerate their growth rate.
