The survey found that the traders operating internationally have created more jobs, as against those exclusively in the domestic markets (35 per cent versus 27 per cent) however, Indian SMEs are assured and more likely to increase jobs (28 per cent) than the global average (19 per cent).
“Our research shows that those small businesses who are engaged in international trade are more confident about the future and use online tools at a higher rate than non-traders,” Das added.
