MSME Struggle in India: Formal Credit Is Elusive, Informal Credit Is Costly

Dear Reader,

India’s MSMEs power nearly a third of our economy—but try getting them a fair loan, and the system folds.

Banks avoid them. Informal lenders bleed them dry. Even credit schemes backed by guarantees often demand collateral MSMEs don’t have.

This piece unpacks the harsh math of India’s small business credit gap—and why solving it needs more than just policy tweaks.

It needs a rethink of how we judge, fund, and empower small entrepreneurs.

The Use Of Contrast

In Bihar’s first family, it’s not just politics—it’s choreography.

Tejashwi Yadav may be the heir apparent, but it’s his older brother Tej Pratap’s theatrics, scandals, and spiritual cosplay that make him look statesmanlike in contrast.

From Lalu Yadav’s expulsion tweet to the quiet utility of dysfunction, this piece explores how one brother’s chaos is cleverly used to elevate the other’s credibility.

Is Tej Pratap a liability—or a calculated foil?

Kupwara Codes: The Gorkha Garrison Series

An ISI-backed terror plot is set to explode in Kashmir—and only two Gorkha officers can stop it.

As coded messages from a faceless enemy emerge, Lt Deepak Lathwal and Maj Danny Deka lead their khukri-wielding battalion into a dangerous mission across borders and betrayals.

Facing a radical femme fatale, sleeper cells, and a ticking clock, the question isn’t just if they’ll survive—but whether India will.

Fast-paced, gripping, and grounded in real-life courage—this military thriller keeps you turning pages till the very last shot.
