The scope of growth for this sector is enormous; however the presence of several challenges is preventing the same, especially the lack of knowledge on several business specific elements. A major roadblock we identified was that several MSMEs did not know where to source information from. Through our mojoVersity platform, we aim to democratize knowledge transfer, by making available course content that will help small business owners learn and be more aware of the nuances required to run and sustain a business.”
