Since its launch on August 9, 2016, the Government e Marketplace (GeM) has significantly transformed India's public procurement landscape by digitizing and streamlining the process. This transition has not only enhanced transparency but also improved access for businesses of all sizes. The participation of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) has surged from 2,396 in 2016-17 to over 11.9 lakh, with procurement from these entities skyrocketing from ₹69 crore to more than ₹8.69 lakh crore. Inclusivity has also been a focus, with women-owned MSEs increasing from 268 to over 2.16 lakh and startups growing from 88 to over 40,000. GeM has played a crucial role in public service delivery, particularly in the health sector, facilitating the procurement of over 324 crore vaccine doses and 199 crore syringes. The platform employs advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, to further enhance procurement efficiency and transparency, aligning with India's vision for a developed and self-reliant nation.
