Sharing his views on how India could achieve global dominance in manufacturing, Sanjiv Prasad, Vice President / Head Power & Utilities, Reliance Industries, said that the ‘Make in India’ movement started by PM Modi is the first step towards this goal with ‘Sell to the World’ being the second step. “If India has to become a global manufacturing power-house then we need to have the ambition to become one,” he said.
Agreeing with Mr. Prasad, Raghavendra Naik, Global Head - Manufacturing Excellence, PGP Glass Ltd., reminded the audience that before the advent of the East India Company, India used to be the epicentre of global business. Speaking about the country’s quest to regain its glorious days, Mr. Naik said: “Indian manufacturing organizations need to focus on innovation, cost competitiveness and delivery commitments if they intend to dominate the global manufacturing arena.”
Rishikesh Jaiwant, Member of the Board of Directors, Baxter Pharmaceuticals India shared the two Cs and two Ss for achieving the said goal. “The two Cs are courage and collaboration while the two Ss are simplification and speed. C comes before S. So, if we have courage and collaboration then simplification and speed will follow,” he said.
