Representatives of top manufacturers from across the world flew into the capital yesterday to witness the launch of the ‘Make in India’ campaign by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I believe they were here because the ‘Make in India’ campaign is an idea whose time has come.

Right? Wrong! A quiet transformation has been taking place in our manufacturing sector too.
