Global geopolitical shifts—ranging from tariff wars and regional conflicts to evolving trade alliances—are dramatically reshaping the global manufacturing ecosystem. These disruptions have exposed vulnerabilities in global supply chains and forced countries to reassess their dependencies and strategic priorities. For India, this moment presents a critical inflection point, with new avenues to strengthen its position as a global manufacturing powerhouse.
India’s manufacturing sector stands to gain significantly as global players diversify away from traditional hubs. However, this transition isn’t without challenges. Issues such as infrastructure readiness, regulatory complexity, and skill gaps must be addressed to fully leverage the current geopolitical climate. Moreover, the volatility caused by unpredictable trade policies and diplomatic shifts raises questions about how resilient and adaptive Indian manufacturing truly is.
This session will explore key facets of the global manufacturing realignment, including the impact of tariff wars, whether this period represents another VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) event, and the preparedness of Indian industries. It will also highlight emerging opportunities, and the strategic steps India must take to position itself as a reliable, sustainable, and competitive alternative in the global supply chain.
