A new notification service is proving effective in connecting small business owners with government support programs. The Ministry of SMEs and Startups introduced 'Policy Notification Talk' to proactively inform entrepreneurs about available aid.

This initiative targets small business owners who, due to their demanding work schedules, often miss out on crucial government support. The service sends tailored information directly to their phones, simplifying the process of discovering and applying for assistance.

The impact has been substantial. The ministry reported that applications for some programs surged by up to 20 times after the service was implemented. This suggests a significant gap in awareness that the new system is now bridging, ensuring more eligible businesses receive the aid they need.
