Key Quotes (2)

“India's inability to grow into a global export powerhouse and continued dependence on domestic demand for growth has suddenly provided us an advantage in terms of the likely impact from the trade disruptions.”

▶ 5:29 POLICY

“China's export-led growth model is reaching its limitations, a fact recognized by Chinese authorities as well who have once again announced intentions to promote domestic demand growth. This provides Indian exporters a unique opportunity to increase their share of global trade and over the next decade make India the manufacturing hub for the world.”

About Rama Amara

Rama Mohan Rao Amara, Managing Director of the State Bank of India, spoke at the LUB MSME South India Summit in Hyderabad on October 9, 2026, where he discussed the role of banking in supporting MSMEs and startups. In his address, he described a "productivity and finance flywheel" in which technology adoption by MSMEs can improve their bankability, while startup adoption of MSME products can improve fundability. He noted that banking is evolving from collateral-based lending toward cash flow-based lending, citing government-backed guarantees that enable financing of viable enterprises up to 10 crores without collateral. Amara also referenced Skyroot Aerospace, a Hyderabad-based company, as an example of private-sector achievement in space, noting its Vikram 1 rocket became the first privately developed Indian rocket to reach orbit from Indian soil. Amara highlighted SBI's support infrastructure, including over 2,000 trained relationship managers serving as single points of contact, and initiatives such as SBA Chakra and a center of excellence. He framed these efforts within the broader goal of "Scale Up Bharat," stating that as enterprises become stronger, the nation becomes stronger. His remarks emphasized the importance of financial visibility and evidence-based lending in enabling growth capital access for MSMEs and startups.
