India’s MSME sector is booming — but growth doesn’t just happen by chance. To become more competitive, more efficient, and more trusted, small businesses need support. That’s where government-backed schemes like ZED Certification, ISO support, and the NAPS apprenticeship program come in.

At Nyastarang, we work closely with MSMEs across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, and Rajasthan to make the most of these schemes — turning government policies into real business results.

1. ZED Certification – Quality Meets Sustainability

ZED (Zero Defect Zero Effect) is an initiative by the Government of India to help MSMEs improve:

Product quality
Process efficiency
Environmental responsibility

Benefits of ZED:

Better reputation in domestic and international markets
Priority in government tenders
Subsidies on certifications
Step-by-step quality improvement

At Nyastarang, we simplify the entire ZED process for you — from documentation to audit.

2. ISO Certification – Build Trust & Open New Markets

ISO certifications like ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment), and ISO 45001 (Safety) help MSMEs:

Improve consistency in operations
Increase customer satisfaction
Enter high-value supply chains

3. NAPS – Solve Manpower Issues with Government Support

NAPS (National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme) supports MSMEs by:

Helping you hire apprentices at low cost
Reimbursing part of their stipend
Building a skilled and loyal workforce

If you're struggling with labor or want to train workers affordably, NAPS is a smart move. Nyastarang helps you with registration, documentation, and claiming benefits.
