During a social media update, Narendra Modi highlighted that the Government e‑Marketplace (GeM) has transformed public procurement through transparent transactions and broader seller involvement. He pointed out that technology‑driven solutions have been pivotal in making government purchases more straightforward for businesses. The platform’s ten‑year journey, since its 2016 inauguration, has produced a robust ecosystem where MSMEs and women entrepreneurs enjoy greater visibility and access to lucrative contracts. Modi encouraged citizens to explore the Commerce Ministry’s write‑up to understand the platform’s achievements and its role in modernising India’s buying processes.
