The Make in India initiative was launched by the Government of India in September 2014 to encourage companies to manufacture in India and boost job creation. Its objectives were to promote manufacturing investment, create 100 million new jobs by 2022, and increase manufacturing's contribution to GDP. Outcomes included India becoming a top destination for foreign direct investment in 2015, jumping in World Bank's ease of doing business rankings, and states launching their own manufacturing initiatives. However, limitations included the manufacturing sector's decreasing share of GDP, high advertising spending, and criticisms that it was an "ill prepared" pump and show model as GDP growth fell.
