But what excites Sagar Gupta, Director, is the fact that the company is building a base for manufacturing TVs, a sector where China is a major player, as of now in India. In an interview with Nisha Shukla, the young entrepreneur talks about how a familyrun distributor of electronic components determined its journey to becoming an ODM for LED televisions. The junior Gupta believes that the manufacturing industry offers exciting opportunities for developing cutting-edge technologies and contributes to the Make in India initiative, the vision of the Hon’ble PM Modi
