Under the World Bank’s B-Ready Framework
About The B-Ready Workshop: Transforming Business Ecosystems
The B-Ready Workshop represents a strategic initiative at the intersection of policy, innovation, and entrepreneurship—where government commitment meets business reality, where global frameworks adapt to local contexts, and where collaborative dialogue shapes the future of Madhya Pradesh’s economic landscape.
C9Lab was honored to participate in this flagship initiative, recognizing it as more than just another workshop—it was a substantive effort by the Government of Madhya Pradesh and DPIIT to fundamentally improve the business environment, strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems, and position the state competitively in both national and international markets.
The workshop was conducted under the World Bank’s B-Ready framework—a comprehensive methodology designed to assess and enhance business readiness across emerging markets. Unlike simplistic business ranking systems that reduce complex realities to single numbers, B-Ready takes a nuanced, multidimensional approach. It evaluates how well locations support businesses across their entire lifecycle—from startup formation through growth phases to maturity and exit. It examines regulatory frameworks, infrastructure quality, access to finance, talent availability, market accessibility, and countless other factors that determine whether businesses can thrive in specific locations.
For Madhya Pradesh, participation in the B-Ready framework signals ambitious intent. The state isn’t content with its current business environment—it’s actively seeking to improve, to learn from global best practices, to identify gaps systematically, and to implement reforms that make Madhya Pradesh genuinely attractive for entrepreneurs, investors, and enterprises. This proactive approach to business environment enhancement distinguishes progressive governments from those satisfied with status quo.
The workshop brought together diverse stakeholders who collectively shape Madhya Pradesh’s business ecosystem: government leaders who craft policies and allocate resources, policymakers who design regulations and frameworks, industry experts who understand market realities and operational challenges, established enterprises that have navigated the system successfully, and entrepreneurs building new ventures who experience the ecosystem’s strengths and weaknesses firsthand. This diversity ensured discussions reflected multiple perspectives rather than single viewpoints.
C9Lab proudly represented Madhya Pradesh’s innovation ecosystem at this strategic dialogue, contributing perspectives shaped by our journey building a technology company in the state. We understand intimately what works well in Madhya Pradesh’s business environment and where improvements would meaningfully impact entrepreneurial success. Our participation wasn’t ceremonial—it was substantive contribution to conversations that will shape policies affecting countless businesses.
Held at Atulya IT Park in Indore—Madhya Pradesh’s commercial capital and emerging technology hub—the location itself symbolized the state’s technology ambitions. Indore has transformed from a traditional trading center into a modern city attracting IT companies, startups, and innovation-driven enterprises. Hosting the B-Ready Workshop there reinforced that Madhya Pradesh’s business environment vision extends beyond metros to tier-2 cities with enormous potential.
Workshop Highlights: Strategic Conversations That Matter
The B-Ready Workshop wasn’t a series of presentations where speakers lectured passive audiences. It was interactive, engaging dialogue where participants contributed experiences, challenged assumptions, proposed solutions, and collaboratively identified pathways to meaningful improvement. Here are the key dimensions explored:
🎯Strategic Discussions on Business Location Factors
A central theme was understanding what makes locations attractive for businesses—why do companies choose to establish operations in certain places while avoiding others? This isn’t about simplistic factors like tax rates or land costs alone. It’s about comprehensive ecosystems that enable businesses to operate efficiently, access necessary resources, reach customers effectively, hire qualified talent, and grow sustainably.
The discussions explored multiple dimensions of location attractiveness:
Regulatory Environment: How quickly can businesses register? How complex are compliance requirements? How predictable are regulatory changes? How responsive are government agencies to business needs? How transparent are approval processes? Participants shared experiences—both positive and frustrating—that illuminated where Madhya Pradesh excels and where improvements would create significant value.
Infrastructure Quality: Beyond basic roads and electricity, discussions examined digital infrastructure (reliable internet connectivity, data centers), logistics infrastructure (ports, airports, warehousing), and specialized infrastructure (technology parks, incubation centers). Madhya Pradesh’s central location offers natural logistics advantages, but realizing that potential requires continued infrastructure investment.
Talent Availability: Can businesses find skilled employees locally, or must they recruit expensively from other regions? Are educational institutions producing graduates with relevant skills? Are reskilling and upskilling opportunities available? For technology companies like C9Lab, talent availability is critical—we need cybersecurity professionals, software engineers, and business development specialists. The workshop explored how state initiatives can strengthen talent pipelines.
Access to Capital: Can startups access seed funding? Can growing companies secure growth capital? Do banks understand technology businesses well enough to lend appropriately? Are alternative financing mechanisms (venture capital, angel investors, government schemes) accessible? Financial accessibility determines whether promising ventures can scale or remain constrained by capital limitations.
Market Access: Can businesses reach customers efficiently? Are there unnecessary barriers to market entry? Do procurement processes favor local companies appropriately without creating inefficiencies? For B2B companies, government procurement represents significant opportunity—but only if processes are transparent, timely, and fair.
These discussions weren’t theoretical—they were grounded in real experiences of businesses operating in Madhya Pradesh. Entrepreneurs shared specific examples of what works well (quick business registration, supportive startup cells) and what creates friction (complex compliance requirements, delayed approvals for certain licenses). Government representatives listened actively, asked clarifying questions, and demonstrated genuine commitment to addressing identified challenges.
🏆Market Competition and Competitive Positioning
Another crucial theme was understanding how Madhya Pradesh competes with other states for business investment, talent, and innovation. In India’s federal system, states compete for mobile resources—companies can choose where to establish operations, talent can migrate to opportunities elsewhere, and investors can deploy capital in multiple markets. What makes businesses choose Madhya Pradesh over alternatives?
The discussions explored Madhya Pradesh’s competitive advantages and disadvantages relative to other states:
Natural Advantages: Madhya Pradesh enjoys central geographic location (minimizing logistics costs for businesses serving national markets), relatively lower operating costs compared to metros, improving infrastructure connectivity, and rich cultural heritage that creates quality of life attractive to professionals. These advantages are inherent but must be marketed effectively and complemented with supportive policies.
Policy Innovations: What policy innovations could differentiate Madhya Pradesh? Several states have achieved recognition through bold policy moves—Gujarat’s business-friendly reputation, Karnataka’s technology ecosystem support, Telangana’s startup initiatives. What distinctive approaches could position Madhya Pradesh competitively? Participants proposed ideas ranging from sector-specific incentives to regulatory simplifications to innovation fund creation.
Perception Challenges: Sometimes, perception lags reality. Madhya Pradesh may have improved significantly, but if businesses still perceive it as underdeveloped, those improvements don’t translate to investment. How can the state communicate improvements effectively? How can success stories be amplified? How can negative perceptions be addressed with data and evidence?
Sector Specialization: Rather than competing across all sectors, could Madhya Pradesh develop distinctive strengths in specific domains? Some participants advocated for focused development of technology sectors (cybersecurity, AI, fintech), others suggested leveraging agricultural heritage for agritech innovation, still others proposed developing Madhya Pradesh as a manufacturing destination for specific industries. Strategic focus can create competitive advantages more effectively than diffused efforts.
For C9Lab, these discussions were directly relevant. As a cybersecurity company based in Madhya Pradesh, we represent exactly the kind of innovation-driven enterprise the state wants to attract and retain. Our experience navigating the system, our success despite challenges, and our commitment to remaining headquartered in Madhya Pradesh provide valuable case study for what works and what could work better.
🌱Creating Sustainable Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Perhaps the most forward-looking discussions focused on building a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem—one that produces successful startups consistently rather than occasionally, that supports entrepreneurs through complete business lifecycles rather than just initial formation, and that creates network effects where success breeds more success.
Ecosystems aren’t built through single interventions—they require multiple elements working synergistically:
Cultural Transformation: Madhya Pradesh’s traditional business culture emphasized trading, manufacturing, and established enterprises. Entrepreneurship—especially technology entrepreneurship with high failure rates and long gestation periods—requires different cultural attitudes: tolerance for failure, celebration of innovation, patient capital, and recognition that not every venture succeeds but ecosystems learn from both successes and failures. How can government and ecosystem leaders foster these cultural shifts?
Support Infrastructure: Entrepreneurs need more than just capital. They need mentorship from those who’ve succeeded before, access to networks that open doors, technical assistance with legal/accounting/HR complexities, physical infrastructure (coworking spaces, testing facilities), and peer communities for learning and mutual support. Workshop participants explored how Madhya Pradesh can strengthen these support structures.
Educational Alignment: Are educational institutions producing graduates with entrepreneurial mindsets and relevant skills? Are universities encouraging student entrepreneurship? Are curricula updated to reflect market needs? Are industry-academia partnerships strong? For technology entrepreneurship specifically, are computer science and engineering programs teaching cutting-edge technologies and practical skills? Educational alignment determines long-term talent pipeline quality.
Exit Opportunities: Sustainable ecosystems need exit pathways—mechanisms for successful entrepreneurs to harvest value (through acquisitions, public offerings, or secondary sales) and for investors to realize returns. Without exits, capital doesn’t recycle into new ventures, successful entrepreneurs don’t become angel investors, and the ecosystem stagnates. Workshop discussions explored how Madhya Pradesh can facilitate healthy exit environments.
Government as Facilitator, Not Controller: Progressive discussions emphasized government’s role as ecosystem facilitator rather than controller. Government can remove obstacles, provide enabling infrastructure, connect ecosystem participants, celebrate successes, and create conducive policy environment—but actual entrepreneurship must be driven by entrepreneurs themselves. This mindset shift from government-as-driver to government-as-enabler is crucial for sustainable ecosystem development.
C9Lab’s journey illustrated several ecosystem strengths and gaps. We benefited from supportive startup policies, recognition through awards like Big Impact, and platforms like Global Investors Summit. However, we also experienced challenges accessing growth capital locally, finding specialized cybersecurity talent, and navigating certain compliance complexities. Sharing these experiences contributed to workshop discussions about ecosystem improvements that would benefit future entrepreneurs.
🤝Fostering Government-Private Sector Collaboration
A critical workshop theme was strengthening collaboration between government and private sector—moving beyond adversarial relationships or transactional interactions toward genuine partnerships where both sides work together to achieve shared objectives.
Effective collaboration requires mutual understanding. Government officials need to understand business realities—the pressures companies face, the constraints they operate under, the reasons certain policies create unintended consequences. Conversely, businesses need to understand government constraints—limited budgets, competing priorities, political considerations, implementation complexities. The workshop created space for both sides to develop this mutual understanding.
Several collaboration models were explored:
Policy Co-Creation: Rather than government designing policies in isolation and businesses reacting after announcement, what if policies were co-created through structured consultation with business representatives? This approach ensures policies consider practical implications, avoid unintended consequences, and reflect on-ground realities. Several participants advocated for formal mechanisms enabling business input into policy design.
Public-Private Partnerships: Certain infrastructure or services might be delivered most effectively through partnerships combining government resources and mandates with private sector efficiency and innovation. Workshop discussions explored potential PPP opportunities in areas like skill development, incubation infrastructure, and technology adoption.
Regular Dialogue Mechanisms: Rather than interaction only during crises or policy changes, sustained dialogue through regular forums, advisory committees, and structured engagement creates ongoing relationship and trust. The B-Ready Workshop itself represents this kind of structured dialogue—but participants advocated for making such engagement routine rather than occasional.
Performance Feedback: Government initiatives should be evaluated not just by inputs (money spent, programs launched) but by outcomes (businesses actually helped, problems actually solved). Private sector can provide honest feedback on what’s working and what isn’t, enabling government to iterate and improve. Creating safe channels for candid feedback requires trust that criticism will be received constructively rather than punitively.
C9Lab’s participation in this dialogue demonstrated commitment to constructive engagement. We’re not just recipients of government support—we’re active partners willing to contribute our experiences, to participate in ecosystem building, to provide feedback on policies affecting us, and to collaborate on initiatives strengthening Madhya Pradesh’s business environment. This partnership mindset, when adopted broadly, transforms ecosystem dynamics from zero-sum to positive-sum.
💡Innovation and Technology Adoption Focus
Throughout the workshop, innovation and technology adoption emerged as critical themes. Madhya Pradesh’s economic future depends significantly on whether the state successfully transitions from traditional economy to innovation-driven, technology-enabled economy. This transition isn’t automatic—it requires deliberate strategy, consistent investment, and ecosystem alignment.
Several innovation dimensions were explored:
Digital Infrastructure: Reliable, affordable, high-speed internet is no longer luxury—it’s essential infrastructure for modern businesses. Digital infrastructure enables remote work (allowing talent to remain in Madhya Pradesh rather than migrating to metros), facilitates e-commerce (allowing businesses to serve national markets from anywhere), supports technology development (cloud computing, AI/ML, data analytics), and enables digital government services. Workshop participants emphasized continued digital infrastructure investment as foundational to technology ecosystem development.
Technology Adoption by Traditional Businesses: Innovation isn’t just about startups—it’s equally about established businesses adopting technology to improve efficiency, reach new customers, and remain competitive. How can government facilitate technology adoption by MSMEs? What incentives, training, or support could accelerate digital transformation across sectors? For Madhya Pradesh’s economy to modernize broadly, technology adoption must extend beyond IT companies to manufacturing, agriculture, services, and retail.
Emerging Technology Focus: Should Madhya Pradesh develop focused capabilities in specific emerging technologies? AI, cybersecurity, blockchain, IoT, and other technologies represent enormous opportunities. Rather than diffuse efforts across all technologies, focused development of distinctive strengths could position Madhya Pradesh as a go-to destination for specific technology sectors. As a cybersecurity company, C9Lab obviously sees potential for Madhya Pradesh to become a cybersecurity hub—but achieving that requires coordinated ecosystem development.
Innovation in Governance: Government itself can drive innovation adoption through its own digital transformation. E-governance initiatives that make government services accessible digitally, transparent procurement processes, data-driven policy making, and digital public infrastructure all demonstrate government commitment to technology while improving citizen and business experience. Several workshop participants highlighted how government’s own technology adoption signals seriousness about digital economy and creates demand for technology services.
C9Lab’s presence at the workshop represented exactly the kind of technology innovation Madhya Pradesh seeks to nurture. We’re developing cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, serving customers nationally, competing with established players, and demonstrating that sophisticated technology companies can operate successfully from Madhya Pradesh. Our experience provides proof points for the state’s innovation potential and insights into what enables technology company success.
📊 Data-Driven Policy Making and Measurement
A refreshing aspect of the B-Ready Workshop was emphasis on data-driven approaches to policy making and business environment improvement. Rather than relying on anecdotes or assumptions, the World Bank framework provides systematic methodology for assessing business environment dimensions, identifying specific gaps, measuring improvement over time, and comparing performance against benchmarks.
This data orientation creates several advantages:
Objective Assessment: Data reveals reality beyond perception. Sometimes businesses perceive environment more negatively than data justifies; other times, official optimism isn’t supported by metrics. Objective data cuts through biases and provides honest assessment of current state, enabling focused improvement efforts on actual rather than perceived problems.
Targeted Interventions: When data identifies specific bottlenecks—for example, that business registration is efficient but construction permits are delayed, or that access to early-stage capital is improving but growth capital remains scarce—interventions can be precisely targeted to actual problems rather than generic initiatives unlikely to address real constraints.
Performance Tracking: Baseline measurements enable tracking whether interventions actually improve outcomes. Did the policy change actually reduce time-to-compliance? Did the new fund actually increase capital availability? Without measurement, it’s impossible to distinguish successful initiatives from unsuccessful ones or to iterate based on results.
Accountability Mechanisms: Public commitments to specific improvements create accountability. When government announces targets—for example, reducing business registration time to X days or achieving Y ranking on specific B-Ready dimensions—stakeholders can track progress and hold government accountable for delivery. This accountability drives sustained focus and resource allocation.
Workshop participants appreciated this measurement orientation. Business representatives emphasized importance of tracking metrics that matter to actual business operation rather than vanity metrics that look good but don’t reflect reality. Government representatives acknowledged that data sometimes reveals uncomfortable truths but agreed that evidence-based approach ultimately serves everyone better than wishful thinking.
Why This Workshop Matters: Strategic Significance
Policy workshops happen frequently—many produce reports that gather dust rather than driving change. The B-Ready Workshop matters because it represents serious commitment to systematic business environment improvement, brings together stakeholders genuinely capable of driving change, and operates within framework providing structured methodology for sustained progress. Here’s why participation matters for Madhya Pradesh and for C9Lab:
01. Building an Enabling Environment for Startups and MSMEs
Madhya Pradesh’s economic future depends significantly on startups and MSMEs—they create jobs, drive innovation, serve underserved markets, and adapt quickly to changing conditions. But these businesses face unique challenges: limited resources, constrained access to capital, difficulty attracting talent, and disproportionate impact from regulatory complexity. Creating environment where startups and MSMEs can thrive requires addressing these specific challenges systematically.
The B-Ready framework focuses precisely on factors most relevant to smaller, newer businesses—how quickly can they legally commence operations, how easily can they access necessary resources, how burdensome are compliance requirements relative to company size, how accessible are dispute resolution mechanisms if things go wrong. By participating in B-Ready assessment and improvement process, Madhya Pradesh signals commitment to making the state genuinely hospitable for entrepreneurship.
For C9Lab, improvements resulting from this process will directly impact our operations and growth. Simpler compliance means less time spent on bureaucracy and more on customer service. Better access to capital facilitates expansion plans. Stronger talent pipelines reduce recruitment challenges. Efficient procurement processes create sales opportunities. We’re not just observing policy discussions—we’re stakeholders who will benefit tangibly from improvements.
02. Enhancing Competitiveness in Local and Global Markets
Businesses based in Madhya Pradesh must compete in both local and global markets—and their competitiveness depends partly on location advantages or disadvantages. If operating from Madhya Pradesh creates unnecessary costs, delays, or complications, businesses face competitive handicaps. Conversely, if the state offers distinctive advantages, businesses gain competitive edges.
The B-Ready process helps identify where Madhya Pradesh’s business environment creates competitive handicaps and where it offers advantages. By systematically addressing handicaps and amplifying advantages, the state improves competitiveness of all businesses operating within its borders. This benefits individual companies and strengthens Madhya Pradesh’s economy collectively.
For technology companies like C9Lab serving national markets, location matters less for product delivery (software works equally well regardless of where developers sit) but significantly for operations (talent availability, infrastructure quality, regulatory efficiency). Improvements in these operational dimensions enhance our competitiveness against vendors based elsewhere, allowing us to compete on solution quality rather than being disadvantaged by location.
03. Fostering Collaboration Between Key Stakeholders
Ecosystems thrive on collaboration, not just individual excellence. The B-Ready Workshop brought together stakeholders who often operate in silos—government agencies working independently, businesses competing rather than collaborating, industry associations advocating without government partnership. Creating forums where these stakeholders engage regularly, understand each other’s perspectives, identify shared objectives, and coordinate actions strengthens the entire ecosystem.
For C9Lab, participating in these collaborative dialogues creates multiple benefits: relationships with government officials who understand our challenges and can assist when we encounter obstacles, connections with fellow entrepreneurs facing similar issues with whom we can share learnings, visibility with industry associations that can amplify our voice, and awareness of planned policy changes that might affect our operations. These ecosystem connections are as valuable as any individual policy improvement.
04. Positioning Madhya Pradesh as Innovation Hub
Madhya Pradesh is fast emerging as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship—but perception often lags reality. Participation in international frameworks like World Bank’s B-Ready, hosting high-profile events like Global Investors Summit, and receiving recognition through various awards are gradually shifting perception from “traditional state” to “innovation hub.” This perception shift matters enormously for attracting talent, investment, and businesses.
The B-Ready Workshop contributes to this positioning by demonstrating systematic commitment to business environment improvement, by showcasing innovations already emerging from Madhya Pradesh, by creating platforms where success stories are shared, and by generating media coverage that amplifies positive narratives. Every such initiative incrementally strengthens Madhya Pradesh’s innovation hub positioning.
As a Madhya Pradesh-based technology company achieving recognition nationally and participating internationally, C9Lab contributes to this positioning. When we succeed, when we win awards, when we represent India at international forums, we’re not just building C9Lab—we’re validating that Madhya Pradesh produces world-class innovation. This validatio
n benefits the entire ecosystem by demonstrating what’s possible and attracting others who want to be part of successful innovation communities.
05. Creating Feedback Loops for Continuous Improvement
Perhaps the most important outcome of the B-Ready process isn’t any single improvement but the creation of feedback loops enabling continuous enhancement. Rather than periodic ad-hoc initiatives, the framework provides ongoing mechanism for assessment, identification of priorities, implementation of reforms, measurement of impact, and iteration based on results. This systematic approach creates sustained improvement trajectory rather than sporadic progress.
For businesses, knowing that government is committed to continuous improvement rather than satisfied with status quo creates confidence about long-term business environment trajectory. For government, systematic feedback from businesses provides reality check on whether policies achieve intended objectives. For ecosystem as whole, continuous improvement mindset fosters culture of progress and innovation.
06. Demonstrating Government’s Entrepreneurship Commitment
Actions speak louder than words. Governments often claim to support entrepreneurship through speeches and press releases, but tangible commitment is demonstrated through resource allocation, sustained engagement, and willingness to make difficult changes. The Government of Madhya Pradesh’s investment in the B-Ready process—dedicating senior leadership time, allocating resources for systematic assessment, committing to implement identified reforms—demonstrates genuine rather than rhetorical entrepreneurship commitment.
This commitment creates confidence among entrepreneurs and investors. When government demonstrates seriousness about business environment improvement through concrete actions rather than just promises, entrepreneurs become more willing to start ventures, investors become more comfortable deploying capital, and established businesses become more confident expanding operations. Confidence drives behavior, and behavior shapes outcomes.
C9Lab’s Contribution: More Than Participation
C9Lab’s participation in the B-Ready Workshop wasn’t passive attendance—it was active contribution shaped by our experience building a technology company in Madhya Pradesh, our commitment to the state’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, and our mission to help secure the digital future of businesses everywhere. Here’s what we brought to the table:
🏠 Representing Madhya Pradesh’s Innovation Ecosystem
As a homegrown technology company that chose to remain headquartered in Madhya Pradesh despite opportunities to relocate to metros, C9Lab represents exactly the kind of innovation-driven enterprise the state wants to nurture.

Our participation in forums like the B-Ready Workshop extends this contribution by ensuring C9Lab engages actively in ecosystem building, by staying connected to policy developments affecting our operations, by contributing our voice to improve business environment for everyone, and by demonstrating that successful entrepreneurs have responsibility to support ecosystem that enabled their success.
🤝 Building Madhya Pradesh’s Business Future Together
The B-Ready Workshop represented more than a policy discussion—it was a collaborative effort to systematically improve Madhya Pradesh’s business environment, to position the state competitively for investment and talent, and to create conditions where entrepreneurship thrives and innovation flourishes.
For C9Lab, participating in this initiative reinforced our commitment to Madhya Pradesh. We’re not here by default or because alternatives weren’t available—we’re here by choice because we believe in the state’s potential, because we’ve experienced ecosystem support that enabled our growth, and because we see Madhya Pradesh emerging as genuine innovation hub where technology companies can build, succeed, and scale.
This is our commitment: We will continue participating actively in ecosystem building, contributing our experiences and perspectives to improve business environment for everyone. We will support fellow entrepreneurs navigating the same challenges we’ve faced. We will help secure Madhya Pradesh’s digital infrastructure through our cybersecurity solutions. And we will demonstrate through our own success that world-class innovation emerges from Madhya Pradesh.
The conversations started at the B-Ready Workshop continue in ongoing dialogue, policy development, and ecosystem initiatives. The improvements identified will be implemented through policy reforms, resource allocations, and sustained commitment. The collaboration between government, businesses, and ecosystem builders will continue beyond the workshop itself.
