Meghalaya CM inaugurates PRIME Meghapreneur Expo

Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaFebruary 7, 2024

Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Wednesday inaugurated the PRIME Meghapreneur Expo at Polo ground. 

Speaking on the occasion, Sangma emphasized the importance of nurturing entrepreneurs of the state. It is the entrepreneurs who would lead the charge for the state to move forward in terms of economic development, and hence the PRIME Meghapreneur Expo is a celebration of the entrepreneurs of the state. He enthusiastically asked everyone to lend their support to our locals for the work and effort put in to their start-ups and businesses.

A ceremonial ribbon cutting took place after which the Chief Minister and other dignitaries strolled around the venue interacting with the various entrepreneurs.

The day also saw entrepreneurs attending technical sessions on packaging where the importance of labelling and production was explained to them. It was a comprehensive session that incorporated an exercise to test the entrepreneurs’ skill at labelling and what improvements could be made.

The second session of the day was headed by Start-Up India where they talked at length about how a start-up would survive in this day and age.

The session was divided into two parts where the first part was a general interaction with all the entrepreneurs while teaching them the basics of financial literacy and business management, while the second session was a one-on-one mentoring of the entrepreneurs where they could air out their doubts.

The gathering of the different entrepreneurs also led to a very organic atmosphere of discussions and engagements. One of the objectives of the large gathering was to have all the entrepreneurs of the state in a single space where they could interact, get to know each other and benefit from one another.

The Expo is a one of a kind opportunity for not only the entrepreneurs of the state but the denizens of Meghalaya as well to get to know and interact with their entrepreneurs. The expectation is for more residents to be bold enough to start ventures of their own.
