KJSIM Hosts MSME Programme on Quality and Exports

K J Somaiya Institute of Management conducted a five-day Management Development Programme titled “Quality Management System and Export Documentation”, reaffirming its engagement with MSME entrepreneurs following the INDAM Conference. The programme was jointly organised with Career Raiser and saw participation from MSME owners across manufacturing, services, consultancy and education sectors.

The programme was jointly inaugurated by Istulkar, Joint Director at the MSME Testing Centre, Deepa Raut, CEO of Career Raiser, and Ramnath Sarma, Head – MDP at K J Somaiya Institute of Management. The initiative aimed to equip MSMEs with practical knowledge and systems needed to scale operations and improve global competitiveness.

Designed as a hands-on learning programme, the MDP focused on quality management systems, export documentation, logistics, digital supply chains and internationalisation. The structured curriculum covered lean management and productivity tools, process quality techniques, export logistics and documentation, packaging for exports, digital export ecosystems, international market entry strategies and government schemes available for MSMEs.

Sessions were delivered by KJSIM faculty along with industry practitioners, including Kuvalekar, Director at Prasanna Rasayan; Dr Sawant from Shruti Flexipack; Dr Jakhere, Assistant Postmaster General at India Post; and Mr Gujrati, former Director of the MSME IDEMI Testing Centre. Experts also highlighted export facilitation initiatives such as Dak Niryat Kendra, quality certifications including ZED, and the role of accredited product testing laboratories in improving access to international markets.

Raman Ramachandran, Dean and Director of K J Somaiya Institute of Management, said MSMEs play a central role in India’s economic growth and require practical knowledge, strong systems and a global outlook to succeed. He added that the programme reflects the institute’s commitment to helping entrepreneurs build quality-driven, export-ready businesses.

Participants reported improved clarity on export compliance and documentation, practical insights into quality and lean practices, greater awareness of government export facilitation initiatives, and strategies for expanding into digital and international markets.
