OUR VIEW

What’s next for global sourcing from India >

India’s manufacturing potential continues to expand, but sourcing outcomes depend increasingly on how suppliers are selected, developed, and governed. The future of successful India sourcing lies in data-driven cost transparency, APQP-led supplier readiness, and post-nomination control rather than transactional purchasing.
