Lucknow, May 8: With the objective of connecting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to capital markets and empowering them towards the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) organized a significant workshop at Hotel Taj, Lucknow. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from entrepreneurs, trade associations, and government officials from various districts across Uttar Pradesh.
