How to decide what industries to focus on in "Made in India" campaign initiated by Government of India

1. What To Make in India

2. How to Decide – what to make
• Strategy is Key: To make “Make in India”
program successful, India has to clearly
choose the field it wants to play on. Blindly
following what China has done or what
western economies want India to do will not
work.

3. How to Decide – what to make
• Extrapolation of past in not prediction of
future! India should focus on the areas which
are future looking and hold potential in future,
not the areas which in past have delivered for
other countries. If India decides to emulate
what china has done to be successful then
India will face major problems and entire
“Make In India” program can become non-
starter.

4. How to Decide – what to make
• Play according to your Strengths: India has to
choose what game it wants to play and where.
It should be able to set the rules of the game
and also generate enough interest to make it
successful. India will have to do deep analysis
on which areas are really the need of future
along with what can be achieved given its
strength and weakness.

India”- My Pick
• Renewable Energy
• Food Processing
• Space Technology
