The company’s co-founder and COO, Vanessa Lacayo, speaking to ANI, says the most urgent task is to match what companies face on the ground with what policymakers plan at the top. She says this will help India strengthen its position in the global race for rare earths and other essential minerals.

Lacayo says there are still areas where the policy can improve, but ongoing talks between industry and government are the most important step. She says it is necessary for officials to “hear directly from the industry partners” about the challenges faced while working in the field.
