Rakan Mikro, which is also MAICCI’s flagship programme for this year, will be a multi-pronged effort targeted towards Malaysian Indians who have yet to start their entrepreneurial journey, and also those who are still budding in their micro-businesses.
The participants, expected to reach 2,400 pax by November this year, will be assisted throughout Rakan Mikro which would be a series of events that will guide them in the aspects of funds application, training, and more.
MAICCI Secretary General Datuk Dr. AT Kumararajah said the series of programmes which includes workshops, panel sessions, and more will be held throughout Malaysia over the course of the upcoming four months.
