Enterprising Futures

Enterprising Futures: Global SME Insights 2025 - edited by Dr. P. Koshy .
Not just another SME report - this volume features 25 thematic chapters and 12 expert perspectives from leading voices shaping the future of enterprise.

Unlike conventional SME reports that focus narrowly on formal, high-growth sectors, Enterprising Futures centres the "everyday enterprises" - the micro, informal, and hybrid businesses that underpin livelihoods, value chains, and resilience across Africa, Asia, and other transitional economies. By integrating sustainability, digital transformation, labour policy, and geoeconomic foresight into one interconnected framework, the volume offers actionable pathways for inclusive, adaptive, and resilient enterprise ecosystems.

Inside, explore:
✅ Finance that serves the real economy
✅ Digital commons, data sovereignty & platform interoperability
✅ Frugal, place-based & cooperative innovation
✅ Responsible AI adoption for SMEs
✅ Labour rights, safety & social protection in small enterprises
✅ AfCFTA & BRICS integration, supply chain shifts

From bustling African street markets to dynamic Asian manufacturing hubs, this volume bridges local realities with global shifts in trade, technology, sustainability, and work.

Featuring insights from Dr. Gyan Prakash Agarwal, Jose de la Maza, Jatin Pokhriyal, Musa Khalfan Yasin, Dr. P. M. Mathew, A. Menon, Acharyasri Sachidananda Bharathi, Sandeep R. Manakeshwar, Rupam Tandon, Sandeep Dhingra, Charles Dhinakaran, Chris Peterson, and Svetlana M.
