We look forward to this industry gathering at SOURCE INDIA 2023.”
“The Indian Electronics System Design and Manufacturing (ESDM) industry offers a unique investment opportunity. With huge domestic demand, an accelerated pace of economic reforms, breakthroughs in energy transition, and rapid digital transformation, the long-term growth trajectory is clearly positive. The ESDM sector demonstrates the immense potential and is positioned to make a truly transformative impact on the world stage.

Wishing all the success for SOURCE INDIA 2023.” —Thiru Hans Raj Verma, IAS, CMD, Tamil Nadu Industrial Investment Corporation Limited. (TIIC)
India has a large domestic market, expertise, and export potential to become a significant manufacturing hub. Today, India stands at the cusp of a great opportunity to ignite the global electronic industry and prove its actual potential to the world by creating a robust business ecosystem, bringing global value chain investors to India, and becoming the leading exporter of electronics and semiconductors in the world. Introducing incentive schemes like PLI, SPECS and EMC will bring a resurgence in the manufacturing environment and create a competitive global ecosystem for India to capture the global market share. Low PC penetration may not justify this strategy for the electronics sector.
Some notable speakers at the Summit will be Thiru Hans Raj Verma, IAS, MD TIIC, Mr Arun Roy, IAS, Secretary, MSME, Ms Jayashree Muralidharan, IAS, Managing Director, TIDCO, Ms Pooja Kulkarni, IAS, Special Secretary Industries, Tamil Nadu, Ms Sigy Thomas, IAS, MD, FaMe, Ms Grace Pachua, IAS, ED FaMe and Mr Vishnu Venugopalan, IAS, MD Guidance.
