I have heard important people say that manufacturing is going to be the next wave of innovation in India after the outsourcing one just witnessed. India is rapidly gaining a reputation as a global manufacturing center for a wide range of products from textiles to automobiles and a lot of things in between. General Motors, Ford, Triumph International, Nokia, and Coca-Cola are only a few of the multinational companies that have built a successful manufacturing base in India.

In this chapter, I offer you a quick trip around the manufacturing scene in India. I explain the sectors that have been growing the fastest, tell you what you need to do to get started, and clue you in on a few potential obstacles. Have a look, and you can manufacture your own success in India!
