I live in Denmark and I have never seen a Made in India product. Maybe they should start with electronics manufacturing services before moving onto semiconductor manufacturing? Just like China did.

India doesn’t produce a lot of consumer goods. However, there is a good chance that the lab equipment and chemicals used were manufactured there. For some reason, most drain caps in the US happen to come from scrap iron mills in India..

India is more known for its services exports than manufacyturing exports. You might have seen folks from TCS or Infosys etc. or Indian doctors and nurses in your neck of the woods.

  Maybe that was not a good idea. Compare India with the countries that focused on manufacturing at it's pretty obvious that the latter fared better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export-oriented_industrialization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export-oriented_industrializat...

    I’m not so sure about that. Manufacturing comes with its own problems, the chief one being all sorts of pollution. I think it’s fine that the country jumped directly into services.

    India has the 6th highest GDP in the world. And is on path to become the 3rd highest in the coming years. The only question is whether India can surpass GDP of US or China in the next 30 years. Let's wait and see.

      I am not sure where the stat is coming from but india has one of the lowest gdp per capita. Industrial development is badly needed.
      - a22a-dev 5y ago
        Its true, that per capita is very low, but you should see that india is a huge country which had a lot of poverty and illiteracy in the past. And huge things take their own time to build it's momentum, so I know for sure that future is very bright.

There are more electronics manufacturing even in Bangladesh than India. Foxconn tried to setup in India in 2004, and ran away in terror 3 years later. Wistron got union wrecked once they delayed the salary for "just" one month. Companies in India basically have budgets for union strikes.

Middle America resident. My set of open ended wrenches was made in India. They’re holding up well enough. Though I must admit they don’t see a whole lot of use.

Do you use a computer? Well, some of the software stuff on it is from India. Enjoy!

    Every major software company have big development center in India, Microsoft, Samsung, Google, IBM, Amazon. It is just wrong to say india just provide support. That was the case like 20 years back

I have a pair of sneakers made in India I bought in the UK. That’s only interesting because it’s the first pair I’ve seen sold here. I’ve also noticed Indian metal working stuff turning up on ebay and Amazon. I generally think of India for service but it’s really interesting to see if it can become a manufacturing hub too.
