The world companies were dependent on Chinese factories in the production of electronics, machinery, textiles, and consumer goods. Nevertheless, the situation in the world is evolving quickly. Increasing labor expenses in China, and supply chain issues during the pandemic, and geopolitical tension have compelled companies to diversify their manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n<p>This has brought a big opportunity to India. India has a young workforce; favourable government policies and the domestic demand is increasing making India a powerful manufacturing destination. This is a strategic time to entrepreneurs and investors to venture into manufacturing enterprises or to grow it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy
