Making in India for the world

Global corporations with manufacturing bases need to proactively develop strategies that can help them benefit from the ambitious target India has set for itself

FOR A COUNTRY that broke through the shackles of foreign rule 77 years ago, India has achieved much more than one would have thought of, especially given the diversity of its geography and demography. For a country that was left grappling with lack of resources, India today has emerged as an example of resilience that led to self-sufficiency. A vibrant and young population, aptly supported by a proactive and relevant policy-making has enabled the country to build a base for itself, where it cannot just serve its own consumer base but also cater to the needs of the world.

From home-grown industrial giants, who are today known for their prowess to global corporations, including us, that have reposed faith in the strengths, capabilities, and vibrancy of this great democracy, the success achieved is a testimony of the right decision made to be here and build capabilities.
