Using real-life case studies, Jain explained common procurement risks and procedural vulnerabilities. He highlighted the importance of due diligence at each stage of procurement and helped participants understand how policy provisions apply to practical situations.

The session concluded with an interactive question-and-answer discussion, during which participants raised procurement-related challenges and sought clarification on the application of MSE and Make in India provisions.
