MUMBAI: Shashank Moddhia, chief executive officer (CEO) of The Renal Project, a startup that runs a chain of dialysis centres across suburbs in Mumbai and Pune, is working overtime to get a micro small and medium enterprise (MSME) registration for his business since the government announced a special package for small businesses impacted by the coronavirus-led lockdown. “We need to ensure that we have access to funds.
We have applied for MSME registration so that we can avail collateral free loans at a time when it is even more critical for us to obtain expensive medical equipment to keep the centres running," said Moddhia.
