India’s ambition to emerge as a global manufacturing powerhouse lies at the heart of our growth story. Fueled by resilience, scale, and innovation, the sector is now at a defining moment where our manufacturing dream can drive economic self-reliance and global competitiveness.

In 2024, CNBC-TV18 partnered with Zetwerk to launch the Smart Manufacturing Summit, setting the tone for India’s manufacturing aspirations. Building on that success, we now return with Season 2 in a new avatar: MAKE 2025 For Bharat and Beyond.

With the theme “Resilience to Reinvention: India’s Manufacturing Moment”, this edition captures the evolution of India’s manufacturing narrative. Amid geopolitical shifts, supply-chain disruptions, changing tariff regimes, and the push for self-reliance, MAKE 2025 For Bharat and Beyond will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, OEMs, and MSMEs to focus on building resilient supply chains, unlocking policy incentives, leveraging technology and talent, and positioning India as a global manufacturing powerhouse.
