SIDBI launches export training programme for Noida garment MSMEs

NOIDA : The in-person training is being provided September 3–6 in the industrial city of Noida, with sessions scheduled daily from 3 pm to 7 pm.The Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) on Wednesday began a four-day garment export market masterclass for Noida’s garment cluster.

The in-person training is being provided September 3–6 in the industrial city of Noida, with sessions scheduled daily from 3 pm to 7 pm.

The masterclass is being conducted by trade expert Dr Jagat Shah, known for his extensive work with Indian MSMEs on export competitiveness.

“Indian exporters need to focus on quality, sustainability and innovation to stay competitive. With tariffs altering traditional trade flows, there is a huge opportunity for MSMEs to enter emerging markets and strengthen India’s global presence,” said Dr Shah.

During the inaugural session on Wednesday, SIDBI Noida’s Deputy General Manager Swapnil Sahil said the programme aims to equip local garment manufacturers with strategies to access high-potential markets beyond the US.

The programme, according to industry insiders, comes at a critical time, with exporters facing pressures from global trade realignments and supply chain shifts. Experts noted that expanding into non-US markets could reduce risk, while improving India’s positioning as a reliable sourcing hub
