AGRA, India: MSME Business Summit Agra will take place at Hotel Grand Imperial on Saturday, 24 October 2026, bringing attention to the operating decisions facing micro, small and medium enterprises. Co-organised with Global Startup Summit, the event will provide a forum for business owners and speakers to exchange perspectives on enterprise development.

The shared Agra programme puts the foundations of technology adoption on the agenda. Arpit Gupta, Founder and CEO of Gropto, is featured in 'Before the Bot: The Data an MSME Can Actually Trust'. Dependable information matters when an enterprise assesses its operations or considers whether a digital tool fits its needs.

Customer experience is represented by 'The Second Sale Begins With the First Return', featuring Richa Bansal, Founder and Director of Purple & Pink Digital Marketing Pvt Ltd, and Vishal Verma, Founder and CEO of Aikia Flavours. The topic brings the period after a purchase into the discussion of repeat business and customer relationships.

The published joint programme also includes a Sansad MSME slot and a discussion on supplier qualification. These sit alongside sessions on direct-to-consumer businesses and artificial intelligence, giving enterprise owners several points of entry into the day's discussions. Participants will be able to consider operating questions in the company of fellow business owners and speakers from different sectors.

Shri S. P. Singh Baghel, Union Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying and Panchayati Raj, is scheduled to be present at the event.

Mohit Sureka, Founder and CEO of Mojo Capital and Global Startups Club, and Jignesh Shah, Founder and CEO of Insignyx Technologies and a charter member of Global Startups Club, are among the speakers at the Agra gathering. Their participation adds the perspectives of the organising business community and its charter-member network to the programme.

Hardik Chadda, Director of Hankernest Technologies, is announced for 'The Evidence Room: Proving a Startup Before Equity'. Its focus on demonstrating a venture's business case offers a complementary perspective for owners considering how to explain their enterprise to potential capital partners.

Brand partners supporting the event include Mojo Capital, 3X Events, 100X Brands, Just You and House & Habit. The joint Agra gathering also connects participants with the Global Startups Club community.

For Agra's enterprise community, the summit is an opportunity to engage with business perspectives in person and develop professional connections. The event is scheduled for 24 October at Hotel Grand Imperial, Agra. Further programme and registration information is available at summit.msmebusiness.news/agra.
