EBG Mumbai Hosts Insightful Sessions on the Union Budget & Supply Chain Finance

EBG Mumbai Hosts Insightful Sessions on the Union Budget & Supply Chain Finance bringing together industry professionals, finance leaders, and entrepreneurs in Mumbai for a focused discussion on two themes currently shaping business decision-making: Union Budget updates and the expanding role of #SupplyChain Finance.

The evening opened with welcome remarks by the Chairman of the Mumbai Chapter Joiel Akilan, who set the tone for thoughtful dialogue & emphasized the importance of interpreting policy shifts through a practical business lens.

The objective was simple — move beyond headlines & translate policy and platforms into practical understanding.

The Union Budget session, delivered in association with Jairaj Purandare , Vishal Shah, Shibani Bakshi from JMP Advisors Private Limited, unpacked key developments across Direct Tax & Indirect Tax. Experts highlighted compliance implications, regulatory intent, and the signals the Budget sends for growth and governance. Rather than viewing the Budget as a static announcement, participants explored how it should inform planning, reporting discipline, and investment outlook for the year ahead.

The conversation then turned toward financial execution, with a deep dive led by Kaustubh Srivastava from M1xchange into the opportunities within Supply Chain Finance ecosystem.

Practical frameworks around invoice discounting, faster payment realization, and improved liquidity illustrated how digital marketplaces reduce friction between buyers, sellers, and financiers. The real-world applicability of the platform made the discussion engaging for businesses evaluating immediate adoption.

We were delighted to have Manisha Kelkar - International #Formula Race Car Driver, among the participants. Her presence added an inspiring dimension to the evening, reflecting the shared mindset of performance, and pushing boundaries that connects sport and enterprise alike.

By combining macro policy interpretation with actionable financing solutions, the event delivered both clarity and utility.

EBG remains committed to creating forums where businesses can exchange informed perspectives and respond confidently to India’s evolving economic environment.
