Anand Mahindra, a prominent Indian industrialist, recently endorsed a post by Shubham Mishra that highlights the significant yet understated growth of India's manufacturing sector, particularly through medium-scale enterprises (MSMEs). Mahindra emphasized that the true strength of manufacturing lies in the quiet progress made in workshops and factory floors, rather than in attention-grabbing headlines. He argued that India's manufacturing future will not solely depend on large corporations but will also be significantly shaped by thousands of MSMEs that are becoming globally competitive.

To support this growth, Mahindra called for enhanced infrastructure, including better roads and plug-and-play industrial parks, as well as faster regulatory approvals to ease operational challenges for these businesses. Mishra's original post pointed out that India's electronics manufacturing has grown dramatically, from about $10 billion in 2014 to over $115 billion today, illustrating the country's increasing importance in global supply chains, particularly in the production of Apple products. He likened India's current manufacturing phase to China's earlier industrial development, suggesting that substantial progress often occurs quietly behind the scenes.
