India has set an ambitious goal: achieving $1 trillion in manufacturing output by the end of the decade, positioning itself as a global manufacturing powerhouse. The government’s push through initiatives like Make in India, PLI schemes, and infrastructure development has created a strong policy foundation. 

However, talent remains the Achilles’ heel. While India boasts a large working-age population, the manufacturing industry is grappling with persistent and emerging workforce challenges — from skills mismatch and digital unpreparedness to talent retention issues in Tier 2/3 hubs and a lack of leadership talent equipped to manage transformation. 

This webinar aims to bring together industry experts, HR and L&D leaders, and policy influencers to discuss the talent bottlenecks threatening India’s $1 trillion manufacturing aspiration and explore strategic, scalable solutions. With a lens on digital transformation, experiential learning, and workforce modernization, this conversation will also highlight how organizations can build a future-ready manufacturing workforce.
