“The size of the Indian market is 1/6th of the world’s population. For any manufacturer, getting a market of that size coupled with good human resource is not easy. While we have managed to become a low-cost service provider, we have slowed down in the race as a low cost manufacturing hub where China leads. Now, there are great opportunities as people are looking at manufacturing hubs other than China,” said Jaitley, who lead a business delegation from Confederation of Indian Industry.
