Ambani, Birla, Premji Share Their Vision Of 'Make In India'

"Quite clearly in manufacturing we have lot of catching up to do. We need manufacturing to put the economy into a higher growth trajectory and to create millions of jobs," Birla said.

“We need an educated workforce of thinkers to meet ‘Make in India’ vision. True success of manufacturing lies in being able to service global markets, said Azim Premji, Chairman, Wipro.

Stating that India is not the easiest country to do business in, Kenichi Ayukawa, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd said: "We are fully confident that, under the Make in India programme of the Prime Minister, factors that adversely affect the competitiveness of manufacturing will now be removed quickly."

He further said: "Costs of production in India increase because of various government policies, procedures, regulations and the way some of the laws are implemented."

If such hurdles were removed, Ayukawa said India would then become one of the most competitive manufacturing countries in the world.

Exuding confidence that things will move forward, Bharat Forge Executive Director Amit Kalyani said: "Following this, my confidence of investing and the speed of investing will go up."

Bharti Enterprises Vice Chairman Rajan Bharti Mittal said: "It is a great initiative but it will really depend on the ground, how much it takes shape. So once that happens I am sure things will start working."

Stating that Make in India will solve problems of deficits, Y C Deveshwar, chairman, ITC, said, "My next destination is Madhya Pradesh. We are going to invest there. 12 million youth come to the market every year, only 2 million jobs created. India's carpenters and craftsmen will get an opportunity.”
