Which country in the world has the kind of talent India has in numbers?

India is the second biggest defence procurer in the world after the U.S.

India has the capability to create a fairly extensive defence manufacturing capability in many areas, and as a country and as an industry, we have matured in terms of technology and capability to make this happen.

Politicians said that with our cheap labour, we could be competitive in the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. We were the most uncompetitive country with that cheap labour.

If India has to achieve exponential growth, it would have to be on the back of strong growth in the manufacturing sector.

We should have an inclusive growth model in India. Agro-interest is also as important as industrial interest.
