India
On Independence Day, Prime Minister Modi laid out a bold vision: he wants India to become a global manufacturing powerhouse.
He talked about building everything right here, from design to final product, so the country relies less on imports and stands stronger on its own.

Modi urged Indian businesses to aim for top-notch quality and bigger scale so they can compete worldwide.
