Enabling India’s Next Manufacturing Leap: Infrastructure as Strategy for Scalable and Future Ready Manufacturing
Overview
Global manufacturing is undergoing a fundamental shift, as enterprises accelerate localization and near-shoring strategies to reduce supply chain risk, improve responsiveness, and align production closer to growth markets. India has emerged as a strategic destination within the Asia-Pacific region, supported by progressive policy frameworks, expanding industrial infrastructure, and access to a highly skilled talent base. As manufacturers evaluate expansion, the readiness of integrated industrial ecosystems, plug-and-play infrastructure, and logistics enabled environments has become critical to enabling faster operationalization, strengthening supply chain resilience, and improving speed-to-market.
This invite-only CXO roundtable, curated with ET Edge and powered by Ascendas Firstspace, will examine the strategic considerations shaping manufacturing expansion into India, with a specific focus on Bengaluru’s role as a high-potential hub for advanced and precision manufacturing.
