The Indian government aims to make India a $1 trillion electronics hub in 5 years, and Tata – also the only Indian supplier to Apple – is at the forefront of this mission. Are the conglomerate’s bets truly audacious? Dia Rekhi talks about strategy, possibilities, and challenges with Pankaj Mohindroo, Chairman - India Cellular & Electronics Association (ICEA), Neil Shah, Partner & Co-Founder - Counterpoint Research, and Sunil Mithas, Professor.
