MAKE IN INDIA,MAKE FOR THE WORLD

Ever since the ‘MAKE IN INDIA’ initiative was launched by the Prime Minister in 2014, it has become a prime talking point amongst industry circles. The government and the industry both acknowledge and appreciate that to boost our GDP there is an urgent need create an enabling manufacturing environment. More pertinently for the foreign trade community, in the current scenario where merchandise exports have been on a decline for more than a year-and-a-half, there is an urgent need to energize India’s manufacturing sector with a keen focus on exports. Considering the current mood in Indian manufacturing and world trade, The Dollar Business announces a timely Second Edition of its Power Series Conclaves 2016-17, titled, “MAKE IN INDIA, MAKE FOR THE WORLD”. The conclave will be held on August 24, 2016, in New Delhi. It will bring together the finest minds from government and industry to look at factors that could help exports grow. Discus-sions will be focused on policy and tax reforms like GST, the need to diversify our export basket as well as our export destinations, alterna-tives to our traditional first world export destinations, challenges of tariff and non-tariff barriers including IPR, strategies for growth in bilateral and multilateral trade and the utilization of FTAs to spur the Indian economy. Discussion topics will also include the use of e-com-merce to enhance exports as well as means to reduce India’s cost of logistics. The conclave promises to kick-start a mood of progress, in-novation and forward-thinking in export manufacturing!

India’s high-tech manufacturing industry accounts for just 9% of its total manufactured exports.

IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THAT!

India’s manufacturing sector contributes to less than a fifth of its GDP.


SMEs that contribute to 40% of India’s exports are plagued with problems.


India will need more than 120 million skilled individuals by 2022, further worsening the skill shortage issue.


Information Technology goods account for just 1% of India’s total goods exports.

eCommerce is the buzzword across markets in the present times. But India is still a long way off from being able to take total advantage of this new age mode of buying-selling. Especially, given the clusters of SMEs that India has,

International eCommerce Marketplace is the revolution to look forward to. Be it employment generation, support to export-manufacturing, building brand India, winning Indian firms partnerships overseas, or simply, maximising opportunities

The first edition of The Dollar Business Power Series Conclave 2016-17 was a power packed event where the elite of the foreign trade fraternity of India discussed the ways and means to develop the country as the next global export-manufacturing hub. With

the ‘Make in India’ initiative of the government in the back-drop, the Conclave was a platform for stakeholders of India’s export-manufacturing community to understand specific chal-lenges and opportunities in the present global economic scenar-io. Discussions and debates on a series of ongoing concerns and opportunities were held. The response to the event was so over-whelming that a number of attendees were left with only enough room to stand!

The welcome note from Mr. Steven Philip Warner, President (VMPL) & Editor-in-Chief, The Dollar Business, set the tone for the event by making evident that manufacturing was the panacea for sustainable growth of the Indian economy. Emphasising on the need for analytical decision making he opened with the line, “The Dollar Business is serious about foreign trade and believes in a logical, judicious mix of analysis, research and field study.” Mr. Warner also pushed forth the importance of such conclaves, promising that this was just the start and the export-manufac-turing and EXIM community as a whole should necessarily ex-pect greater opportunities from The Dollar Business in the form of similar conclaves and EXIM solutions (like The Dollar Business International Marketplace, Membership Programmes, and not to forget, the most-respected magazine) in the near future.

Ms. Upasana Kamineni, Vice Chairperson (CSR), Apollo Hos-pitals and MD, Apollo Life, in her inaugural speech, expressed confidence that the Make in India initiative can make healthcare more affordable in India and can attract more foreign patients. Mr. Anil Rajvanshi, Head, Corporate & Industry Affairs, Reli-

ance Industries Ltd. and Member, Board of Trade, GoI, put forth the cause of wise decision making by saying, “If we want to call India a manufacturing country, we need to decide what product to produce, identify the market, and learn how to produce it effi-ciently.” During his speech, he spoke on the tariff and non-tariff barriers to India’s exports and called for braver, wider action on the part of policymakers.

A treat for the audience was to hear H.E. Mr. Georges de La Roche, Ambassador of Guatemala to India, speak on the great opportunities in Central America for Indian export-ers. He also expressed the need to get the Indo-Guatema-lan bilateral relationship warmed up further. Mr. Ajay Sahai, Director General & CEO, FIEO, spoke on the wide opportuni-ties for India’s exports in specific sectors. Other speakers during the conclave were Mr. Kiran V., GM - International Marketing, Bharat Electronics Ltd.; Dr. Mahesh Bhalgat, ED & COO Shan-tha Biotechnics; Dr. A. K. Sengupta, Former Dean of IIFT; Mr. Anil Reddy Vennam, President, FTAPCCI; and Mr. Prakash Am-manabolu, President, TSFTA.

The panel of experts also deliberated on the importance of SMEs in the country. Nonetheless, the most discussed topic was on how to improve the Indian manufacturing sector and boost exports. The Conclave ended with Q&A and media interaction sessions.

“At a time when the world’s economy is titled to the down-side, we are dedicated to the foreign trade fraternity of India. The Power Series Conclave is a testimony of that commitment” – with these words, Mr. Warner concluded the event, which saw partic-ipants from 10 states across India. The success of the inaugural edition of TDB Power Series ensured that its future editions will feature as a top destination for all those who are serious about manufacturing and foreign trade.
