Business Today India@100 spotlights India’s manufacturing champions
Pushkar Singh Dhami joins policymakers and industry leaders to discuss India’s road to 2047
MUMBAI: India’s manufacturing story is getting ready for its next big production. Business Today India@100 is returning with its latest edition, “India’s Manufacturing Champions”, bringing policymakers, economists, business leaders and technology experts together to examine how India can strengthen its industrial base and move towards its ambition of becoming a developed economy by 2047.
A key voice at the platform will be Pushkar Singh Dhami, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, who will discuss the state’s role in powering India’s industrial growth and contributing to the country’s wider manufacturing ambitions.
The edition comes as India looks towards the centenary of Independence, with manufacturing expected to play a central role in economic growth, employment generation, innovation and global competitiveness. The focus will be on the companies, states, policymakers and innovators helping shape that industrial transformation.
The platform will also draw on Business Today’s exclusive research and industry insights to examine the policy measures, investments and institutional reforms needed to unlock manufacturing’s next phase of growth.
From advanced production and supply-chain resilience to digital transformation, infrastructure, exports and sustainability, the discussions will cover the forces reshaping Indian manufacturing. Technology adoption and access to capital will also feature prominently as businesses look to scale and compete in global markets.
The larger ambition is equally substantial: building the industrial capabilities needed to support India’s journey towards a $30 trillion economy by 2047.
The forum will bring together perspectives spanning economic policy, governance, manufacturing, technology, infrastructure, mobility, defence, workforce and entrepreneurship. Through leadership conversations and research-led discussions, BT India@100 will look at what India needs to do next to turn its manufacturing potential into sustained economic momentum.
At its core, the platform puts the spotlight not just on factories and output, but on the broader ecosystem needed to make India a more resilient, self-reliant and globally influential manufacturing economy.
