India definitely has a tremendous opportunity here to attract companies to set-up manufacturing operations in our country. Companies will now look for potential alternative locations to China that offer the right infrastructure, lucrative corporate governance policies, beneficial economic and trade policies, provide trained manpower and workforce, to relocate their set-up. It is going to impact their costs of operations and productions, delivery chains and mechanism, and also the quality of product. Which is why companies are going to be critically evaluative, extremely calculative and minutely discerning before making that decision. Many other competent countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, and…
