Industry 4.0(I4.0) refers to a new industrial revolution in which technology is used to integrate management processes to provide digital solutions to support market dynamism. The existing literature on Industry 4.0 has been largely focused on enabling technologies and their impact in various industrial situations. There is a scarcity of research that gives empirical information on how manufacturing industries, particularly manufacturing MSMEs, are dealing with digital transformation. The purpose of this research is to gather data on the degree of understanding, preparedness, and propagation of the Industry 4.0 paradigm in Indian Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). For the research, 356 MSMEs were interviewed. Industry interviews, as well as other data acquired and analyzed during this study, demonstrate that MSMEs have little awareness of Industry 4.0 and are unprepared to deploy it.
