Investors tip to Indian manufacturers: adopt tech and become Silicon Valley for global funds

Singapore, Jun 21 (PTI) Given the government's generous incentives, the Indian manufacturing sector should adopt technology to become a "Silicon Valley" that attracts global sovereign funds, said Bengaluru-based industrialist-turned-investor Ankit Kedia. "Eventually, we should build Indian manufacturing startups that expand abroad as part of our future plans, as we want to make products for the world with a home-grown Silicon Valley-type ecosystem," Kedia said in an interview to PTI at the Super AI conference and exhibition held June 18–19 here. However, technology must be made affordable for these cash-strapped manufacturers operating in lower-cost environments in Tier-II and Tier-III cities, he said. Bengaluru, already recognised as a technology hub and often called India's Silicon Valley, should now focus on manufacturing, especially by leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, he suggested. Kedia, who is currently working on a ₹ 400-crore Fund-2 under his five-year-old Capital-A, shared his vision for the Indian manufacturing sector over the next 15 years, aiming for a strong foundation across the country, starting with low-cost factories in Tier-II and Tier-III cities. With two decades of experience in various industries and five years of running Capital-A Fund-1, Kedia is focused on technologies for the manufacturing sector, which he wants to combine with his long-term investment horizon of 15 to 20 years. Kedia has explored opportunities for the use of AI in manufacturing at the Super AI show, stating that he is returning home to raise ₹ 400 crore for Fund-2, which will be strategically invested in factories in Tier-II and Tier-III cities such as Amritsar, Pune, Ahmedabad. "We want hardware producers in these cities to form the foundation of our future manufacturing ecosystem and to share prosperity across the country," he said. "India's large consumer market, along with the government's Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, provides further confidence to investors to support small and medium-sized software or hardware manufacturers, who will have a low-cost advantage when competing globally,' he emphasized. Kedia also sees international sovereign funds moving to India for better returns on investment, especially as they face pressure from global uncertainties. Capital-A Fund-1 has reported an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 28 per cent and is being tracked at 1.8X, Kedia said. "Such fund returns are becoming more and more attractive to sovereign funds in Europe and the United States," said the fund manager, who invested ₹ 120 crore under Fund-1 across 25 investments five years ago. "The strong domestic market, the stability of the Indian ecosystem, and the potential of leveraging an increasing number of free trade agreements (FTAs) between India and international markets are all plus points for our manufacturing sector," he underscored. Harshul Arora, founder and CEO of Noida-based Macgence, noted that more and more enterprises are shifting to AI-automation to be more cost-effective and capture a bigger share of the market through efficient production. "Small manufacturers in Tier-II and -III city regions are able to use AI to communicate with their clients – a real time translation is offered to these small manufacturers to communicate in any language with clients. "This will increase their communication skills and reach to global businesses as well as a large audience," said the 24-year-old who started with a language solutions company and now runs training data solutions for AI companies globally. Over 7,000 participants from more than 100 countries attended the Singapore Super AI.

Govt meets stakeholders to assess impact of Iran-Israel conflict on trade; monitoring situation

The participants informed that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz is currently stable and a ship reporting system is in place to monitor any incidents. New Delhi, Jun 20 (PTI) The commerce ministry on Friday held consultations with key stakeholders, including shipping lines, exporters, container firms, and other departments, to assess the impact of the Iran-Israel conflict on India's overseas trade, an official said. The freight and insurance rates are also being closely monitored, the official said. The commerce secretary emphasised the need to assess the evolving situation and its impact on Indian trade, the official said. He highlighted the importance of exploring all possible alternatives in response to the situation. Exporters have stated that the war, if escalated further, would impact world trade and push both air and sea freight rates. They have expressed apprehensions that the conflict may impact the movement of merchant ships from the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. Nearly two-thirds of India's crude oil and half of its LNG imports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has now threatened to close. This narrow waterway, only 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, handles nearly a fifth of global oil trade and is indispensable to India, which depends on imports for over 80 per cent of its energy needs. According to think tank GTRI, any closure or military disruption in the Strait of Hormuz would sharply increase oil prices, shipping costs, and insurance premiums, triggering inflation, pressuring the rupee, and complicating India's fiscal management. The present conflict that began with an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 had brought cargo movement through Red Sea routes to a halt due to attacks by Houthi rebels on commercial shipping. Last year, the situation around the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a crucial shipping route connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean, escalated due to attacks by Yemen-based Houthi militants. Around 80 per cent of India's merchandise trade with Europe passes through the Red Sea, and substantial trade with the US also takes this route. Both these geographies account for 34 per cent of the country's total exports. The Red Sea Strait is vital for 30 per cent of global container traffic and 12 per cent of world trade. India's exports to Israel have fallen sharply to USD 2.1 billion in 2024-25 from USD 4.5 billion in 2023-24. Imports from Israel came down to USD 1.6 billion in the last fiscal from USD 2.0 billion in 2023-24. Similarly, exports to Iran, amounting to USD 1.4 billion, which were at the same level in 2024-25 as well as in 2023-24, could also suffer. India's imports from Iran were at USD 441 million in FY25 as against USD 625 million in the previous year. The conflict adds to the pressure that the world trade was under after the US President Donald Trump announced high tariffs. Based on the tariff war impact, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) has already said that global trade will contract 0.2 per cent in 2025 as against the earlier projection of 2.7 per cent expansion. India's overall exports had grown 6 per cent on year to USD 825 billion in 2024-25. PTI RR HVA This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
