Revival and Boosting the Manufacturing Sector in India and Exploration of E-commerce Opportunities for International Business – A Synopsis

India and Indians have proved their presence and talent in the IT sector and software Industry. Similarly, as an agriculture-oriented economy, India exports its excess agricultural produce to several countries around the globe. However, India has remained, by and large, a consumer-based economy within the country. Whether it to be in the Industrial sector in general and hardware sector in particular, we have not realized a full potential, particularly in the international business. While it is time to re-examine the reasons for this impasse, it is also time to look for opportunities in international trade for goods manufactured in India. This paper mainly focuses on two aspects: (1) Revival of the manufacturing sector and making India become an international hub in hardware; (2) Suggestions for e-commerce strategies and providing avenues for marketing of the products manufactured in India.
