Whatever anybody might say, it is manufacturing that is the mainstay of any economy. Countries who believe this and work towards this are likely to be better off in the long run. For some time now, this backbone has been a little under the weather. Economic circumstances and a bleak outlook have not been working in its favour. Nonetheless, it’s only a matter of time before the wheels begin moving at speed.
Despite the settings, it feels good to know that the vibrant Indian manufacturing scenario has even compelled the government to come up with Make in India – a theme that continues to resonate through the minds of every Indian company that makes goods. The recent overtures by the government to step up Indian manufacturing for defence will mean the game has been upped for the industry.
Manufacturing has several aspects to it. But its core remains machining and machine tools. No manufacturing can happen if these are absent. As a job, this vista is invisible to most people unfamiliar with the concept of manufacturing. It’s for this purpose there are associations present to educate the uninitiated. For the industry in question here, it is The Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA).
LEADING FROM THE FRONT
Led by industry stalwarts of Indradev Babu, president (also MD, UCAM India); Ravi Raghavan, vice-president (also MD, Bharat Fritz Werner India); and V Anbu, director-general, IMTMA, the seasoned gentlemen continuously strive to make the association a name to reckon with while all the time working wonders for its members. Each of them brings in expertise while working in tandem to benefit all under its umbrella.
