What a fantastic event we had yesterday!!
We had the pleasure of hosting Mr. Peyush Bansal to address the gathering. He narrated the pathbreaking steps he took to make Lenskart the top eyewear brand in the country and emphasized the need for innovation and for a supportive manufacturing ecosystem to make India the manufacturing superpower.
We also had the privilege of hosting Dr. Amitabh Saran, founder and CEO, Altigreen Propulsion Labs, notable entrepreneur of the current age with a vision of minimal carbon footprint and maximum ecofriendly transport solutions. He elaborated the very essence of entrepreneurship with a great quote, "Startups often fail not because of starvation, but because of indigestion." With his electric vehicle startup Altigreen Propulsion Labs, he is already a key contributor to making India the manufacturing superpower.
On today's panel, we were also fortunate to have Mr. Jyoti Kumar Agarwal, CFO, IndiGrid. Mr. Agarwal gave some crucial insights into the paradigm shift in manufacturing and how we must have a competent R&D ecosystem to fill the skill gaps. He also encouraged the manufacturing enthusiasts present in the discussion to take a more pivotal role to put the Indian manufacturing sector as a better contributor to India's GDP.
