Advantages of Selling on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM Portal)
Government of India is one of the largest purchasers of goods and services in India, spending lakhs of crores annually. However, most SMEs and Startups in India have been unable to sell to the Government due to cumbersome procedures and delays in payment. The Government e-Marketplace or GeM aims at disrupting the current system and introducing a clean and efficient mechanism for Government purchases. Hence, it’s now advisable for all businesses to be registered on the Government E-Marketplace and make the Government a customer. The following are some of the additional benefits of being a seller on the Government E-Marketplace:
