An Indian manufacturing company (Pahwa Enterprises) partnered with an American company (Novatec) on a knowledge-based manufacturing project. Pahwa had the necessary engineering expertise and lower costs compared to other partners. The partnership allowed Novatec to quickly develop a new drying product line to compete with a main competitor. The collaboration was successful due to shared vision, engineering resources, and cost advantages compared to other options. The partnership demonstrated opportunities for more US-India manufacturing collaborations that could benefit both countries.
