About the program

For India to achieve its development dream, manufacturing must grow from 16% to 30% of GDP by 2047—and young engineers can drive this transformation. By integrating AI into manufacturing, automation, and industrial innovation, engineers are building the foundation for a self-reliant, globally competitive India. The future of manufacturing is smart, sustainable, and driven by AI—and engineers are at the heart of this revolution. By 2030, India’s manufacturing sector could generate over 100 million new jobs, while globally, the sector may experience a net gain of 78 million jobs. Additionally, the global smart manufacturing market size is projected to grow to $754.1 billion by 2030. (Source: ECOFIN Agency & Fortune Business Insights)
