Anand Mahindra has backed a viral post by Shubham Mishra on India’s manufacturing growth, saying the country’s industrial strength is being built quietly through workshops, factory floors and medium-scale enterprises rather than flashy headlines.Resharing Mishra’s post on X, Mahindra wrote: “The real strength of manufacturing is never glamorous.”“It grows quietly in workshops, factory floors and industrial sheds, long before the world notices it in economic rankings or headlines.”Mahindra said India’s manufacturing future would not be driven only by large corporations, but also by thousands of medium-scale businesses steadily becoming globally competitive.— anandmahindra (@anandmahindra) “India’s manufacturing future won’t be built only by giant corporations,” he wrote.“It will be built by thousands of medium-scale enterprises that are steadily, silently becoming world-class.”Anand Mahindra Calls For Better Support For MSMEsMahindra also stressed the need for stronger infrastructure and easier regulations to support India’s manufacturing ecosystem.According to him, businesses need:Better roadsMore plug-and-play industrial parksFaster regulatory approvalsLess operational frictionHe added that ease of doing business for medium-scale enterprises could be just as important as incentive schemes aimed at larger companies.“Ease of doing business for these enterprises is just as important, perhaps even more important, than incentives for large corporations.”Shubham Mishra Says India’s Manufacturing Growth Is Being UnderestimatedIn his original post, Mishra argued that India’s manufacturing growth is often underestimated because much of the progress is happening quietly within supplier ecosystems and component manufacturing.He pointed out that India’s electronics manufacturing output has grown from around $10 billion in 2014 to more than $115 billion today.Mishra also highlighted India’s growing role in Apple’s global supply chain.“iPhones went from a rounding error to 14% of global production in five years,” he wrote.According to Mishra, the real industrial progress is happening at the vendor and tooling level rather than through headline announcements.“The real story isn't on the press release.”“It's in the Tier-3 shop in Hosur that finally figured out how to hold ±50 microns on a stamping.”He also compared India’s current manufacturing phase to China’s industrial rise during the early 2000s.“China didn't become China in 2015,” Mishra wrote.“They became China between 2003 and 2018, and most of those years looked exactly like this boring, derivative, ‘they're just assembling.’”
