“Vyapari Ekta Diwas is not just a celebration of unity, but a movement to ensure justice, voice, and policy support for every MSME and trader in India. The time for real reforms is now.”

Prominent trade federations, organisations, and chambers from across the country are expected to attend the conference. Among them is the Grain, Rice, Oil Seeds and Merchants Association (GROMA) from the APMC Market in Navi Mumbai.
