Stay tuned for Mahindra leaderships’ view on India, its growth trajectory and Mahindra Group’s contribution

What will it take for India to move from a large domestic market to a true global manufacturing powerhouse?

“I would dissect ‘Make In India For The World’ into two parts: first, is the ability to make products that are world class. And the second is the ability to make them more competitively than anyone else in the world….” says Dr. Anish Shah, Group CEO & MD, in the latest episode of India For The World.

Hosted by T. Surendar-Consulting Editor at Mint and in conversation with Dr. Janmejaya Sinha, Chairman, Boston Consulting Group India, the trio explores how India can build world-class products at scale, compete on cost and quality, and become a critical part of global supply chains. From infrastructure and logistics to R&D, talent, and policy reforms, the leaders discuss the real enablers behind ‘Make in India for the world.’

They also examine shifting boardroom strategies, supply-chain resilience, rare earth dependencies, and the need for higher value creation through innovation and IP, not just manufacturing volume. With strong demographics, rising domestic demand, and growing global interest, is India ready to become indispensable to the world economy?

Second are the reforms, the Indian government has put in a lot of reforms in the last few years and third is the infrastructure both physical and digital infrastructure…” says Dr Anish Shah, Group CEO and MD as he sits down with David Rubenstein to discuss Mahindra's evolution, India's economic trajectory, geopolitics and his leadership journey.
