India’s next manufacturing challenge was not just to make products more competitively, but to make them globally trusted for their quality, design and innovation, Venu Srinivasan, chairman of the Indian Foundation for Quality Management (IFQM) and chairman emeritus of TVS Motor Company, said on Monday.
Speaking at the annual IFQM Symposium 2026, Srinivasan said India had made progress, with several domestic companies already meeting international quality standards. But he said the country still had significant ground to cover if it wanted to secure a larger share of global manufacturing and services.
