Sunil Bharti Mittal Highlights India’s Manufacturing Resurgence at IMC 2024
A New Era in Manufacturing
At the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2024, Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman of Bharti Enterprises and founder of Bharti Airtel, shared insights on India’s remarkable transformation into a significant manufacturing hub. Recognizing that India had lagged behind in manufacturing compared to China and other nations over the past two to three decades, Mittal noted that recent government initiatives have paved the way for a resurgence in this sector. “That call to action has resulted in today’s India becoming a major manufacturing hub,” he stated confidently.
Key Drivers of Change
Mittal emphasized the role of the Productivity-Linked Incentive (PLI) program as a critical factor in driving this manufacturing comeback. He also highlighted India’s commitment to utilizing trusted sources and products, which enhances the reliability of its manufacturing capabilities. He pointed out that every component of India’s network is subjected to thorough scrutiny by the National Security Council on Telecom, ensuring the integrity of trusted networks and products. “This is a seminal development that other countries need to follow very quickly,” Mittal remarked, underlining the significance of these practices for national security.
Airtel’s Role in the Telecom Revolution
In addition to discussing manufacturing, Mittal took the opportunity to reflect on Airtel’s pivotal contributions to India’s telecom sector. “Airtel has been at the forefront of India’s telecom revolution,” he noted. He expressed pride in the company’s launch of India’s first anti-spam network, a significant step toward enhancing user experience and security. Mittal further mentioned that Airtel is collaborating with industry partners and the Department of Telecom to ensure user safety and security. “We are now working with the industry and the Department of Telecom to ensure that our users are safe and secure while enjoying all the services our networks provide,” he added.
Commitment to a Self-Reliant India
Concluding his remarks, Mittal reaffirmed Airtel’s dedication to supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a strong and self-reliant India. “Prime Minister, Airtel will play its role in your vision of building a very powerful India,” he promised, emphasizing the company’s commitment to fostering the country’s growth and advancing its digital future.
