Manufacturing and Operations Consulting

Bringing you closer to the future of sustainable manufacturing helping businesses attain and sustain best-in-class manufacturing standards with efficient, responsible and modern technology practices.

The Indian manufacturing industry has been undergoing a significant transformation over the past decade and is increasingly becoming a sought-after destination in the world. In 2022, the manufacturing sector contributed around 16% to the GDP and the government is making all-out efforts to increase the contribution to 25% by 2025. Customer demands are evolving due to shifts in consumer preferences and technological advancements. Manufacturers will need to transform their processes to stay relevant in the dynamic environment and aim toward customer satisfaction. Businesses must embrace new-age technologies and build a robust manufacturing ecosystem to maximise operational efficiencies and effectiveness. Moreover, manufacturing industries must also focus on sustainable practices and ESG initiatives to minimise carbon footprint.

With the support of government policies including Make in India, the future of the manufacturing sector looks promising, and India has the potential to become a global manufacturing hub.
