Why can't India be a World-Class Player in Manufacturing Industry as it is in IT & BPO Sectors?

Indian people have both Man Power and Mind Power. But mostly Indian people use only Man power because they have no suitable platform, India have less resources.

One another thing in Indian people that they have talent but they can't express their talent so they didn't get job as they want or according their talent due to lack of communication skills, so they change their job or goal.

Second thing is investment in manufacturing industry and a IT/BPO company, after completing gradution a student can open their own company (IT/BPO) with the Bank loan, and easily start their profession with 8-10 system's and 10-15 employer's.

But for manufacturing industry their is required a lot of money or investment, so any one can neither think nor start indusry.

A Manufacturing industry can start with the help of government if we talking about nano technology, otherwise this is not possible my means not to say impossible without government this will start if Bussiness man want for example Ambani groups, Tata etc.

This is just because of the Lack of infrastructure. Mostly we see in India only IT sector has always been at a boom but as far as manufacturing is concerned.its very limited.
Basically India lack in the field of development.despite so much boom in the IT industry.still India is unable to develop any world leading software like windows, etc. As far as electronics is concerned, we have potential engineers that can work in core fields of development but due to the lack of infrastructure, its still not possible to provide them a suitable platform to showcase their skills.

The Indian govt should take some steps to enhance development of certain units that will be engaged in the core development processes.It will be beneficial in two ways.
1. Brain drain will reduce to a great extent.
2. The load that IT sector is facing today will also be greatly reduced.

Moreover it will add to India's development into a Developed Nation.

Even parents are not supporting for new innovation they need to settle in life as soon as possible this can be provided only by IT field. It takes some time in manufacturing field. Also people in german can work becz they have more economical power.

It is due to the some reasons as-.

If we want to start an IT/BPO company we hardly needs a small room, 8-10 computers & 10-15 employers which can work for long on a lower amount of pay-scale because we have a huge manpower.

But to start a manufacturing company we need a very large area, very expensive machines & very well trained manpower which needs a very big money investments.

So without the cooperation of the government it is not quite possible to start this industry.

As we can take the examples of IC fabrication labs, and nano-technology. Nano-tech was initiated in India but its developing in USA just because of the money.

India has resources required for Manufacturing like Market(Domestic) + Raw Material. What it lacks is Infrastructure ( which is very apparant)

I think our basic Problem is TRAINED Manpower, and Leaders. Here I am NOT talking of Political Leaders, but Entrepreneurs, who think LONG TERM and can MOTIVATE team, have CLARITY of thoughts

We boast of having Graduate Engineers / Accountants / and various other fields. But does our Education System TEACH them / Prepeare them / Train them for work environment?

India has Medium & Small sectors which contribute to more than 40% of Manufacturing. The Manpower is not even aware of IMPORTANCE of being on Time and 100% attendance

TRAINING of Skills should also include TRAINING or GROOMING for the PRODUCTION activities!

We are wasting our indians potential for others and becameing a slaves to them we do what ever they say and working hard for them and they are giving 1 % of their profit to us as a salary, just think they paying high means how much they will be earning because of us, if we work for us means we ll be the best in the world for ever.

I agree with all but I think basic problem of our country is they believed white hair and does't chance for new generation for lack of experience but I think every one who invasion something has to be got chance for grooving but in India new thing always push by political and other kind of power. Worlds most powerful organisation NASA has a 35% scientist of Indian. So we see that we have a quality and talent but doe't used that because lack for support them.

Thank you.

Lack of initiative & investment in the manufacturing sector and also thinking from the point of view of common man, I think every one today is interested in doing a desk-job that is more luxurious rather than doing hard work in a manufacturing industry.

I also agree with all of you, as foreign countries offer big salary for their benefit. Because they are exactly aware of Indian people tendency about money. Because day by day many consciousness increases like political issues, inflation corruption etc are reason which are diverting people mind.

Due to Corruption & inflation India is still developing country and not developed one like US. That all I can say.

Its basically competitive advantage, each country has a resource of which it can produce much better than other countries.

In India's case, the presence of English speaking and Educated youth is our advantage.

Thus, we should use the advantage to its full potential and not wonder why we can't expand to other sectors.
