MAKE
IN
INDIA?
It has been a year since Prime Minister Narendra Modi
launched the 'Make in India' programme that promised to
transform India into a global design and manufacturing
hub. Undoubtedly, since then, the battle cry has been one
of the most popular catchphrases across the corridors
of government agencies and boardrooms of India and
Global Inc. Has the campaign delivered substantial
value to the country's manufacturing sector? Or have the
past twelve months only been about fascination, verbal
inspiration and little execution? The Dollar Business
