The world is watching India’s MSME sector closely as AI and automation redefine how businesses communicate, ship, and scale globally. A recent trend shows buyers in Europe and the U.S. are increasingly preferring exporters who use digital tools like:
- Smart inventory tracking
- AI-powered logistics
- Predictive demand planning
- Instant global compliance documentation
But here’s the challenge:
Are Indian MSMEs ready for this AI-first global trade landscape?
And what role can platforms like Hoysala International Growth Hub (HIGH) play in enabling this shift?

"AI-Driven Trade: Why U.S. and EU Buyers Are Dropping Outdated Exporters"
(Global Trade Journal, July 2025)
A global survey revealed that over 65% of international buyers are now prioritizing exporters who can provide real-time documentation, traceability, and AI-led forecasting — areas where Indian MSMEs still have room to grow.
Discussion Starter:
Let’s open this up to our H.I.G.H community:
YES – It's the future!
We need AI to stay competitive. Buyers demand speed, traceability, and compliance. AI helps us match or exceed what countries like China, Vietnam, and Mexico offer.
NO – Focus on quality instead!
Indian MSMEs are rooted in authentic, high-quality craftsmanship. Instead of rushing into AI, we should double down on what makes us unique.
Questions to Consider:
- Should H.I.G.H introduce AI onboarding programs or tools for exporters?
- Would exporters benefit from AI chatbots to communicate with buyers in multiple time zones and languages?
- Can we develop an AI assistant for fast, compliant export documentation?
- Are exporters already using tools like ChatGPT, Zoho, or Odoo AI to boost productivity?
