While inaugurating and sharing his thoughts on National Conference at XIME, Dr. Jaimini Bhagwati, IFS (Retd.) & Former Indian High Commissioner to the UK, said “Manufacturing sector, undoubtedly, contributes much towards creating employment opportunities. The Indian Economy is connected through Industry (30%), Services (55%) and Agriculture (15%). There are a lot of ambition of increasing manufacturing share from 16% to 25% of GDP in next few years. For this, startups need to be fostered more in the ecosystem as they can be prime-movers for India’s growth.”

The opening day of the conference witnessed four interesting sessions titled:

  1. Make in India – A bold initiative for India’s accelerated growth led by Mr. R Mukundan, MD, Tata Chemicals and Mr. Raghavan Srinivasan, Editor, Business Line chaired by Mr. Muthuraman
  2. The Ecosystem-I (Infrastructure, Land Acquisition and Labour Laws), led by Mr. Kamal Bali President & MD, Volvo Group, India and Mr. S D Tripathi, VP-HRM, Tata Steel

Philip Chairman, XIME & Former Director, IIM Bangalore said, “We, at XIME, believe that B schools play a huge role to make Make in India a success and thus, we have come up with this National Seminar.
