The tech tightrope: Building competitive advantage in India’s tech ecosystem

India’s technology ecosystem is entering a defining phase. From semiconductors and electronics to AI, digital infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing, both Indian firms and global players are scaling up in sectors that will shape the future of the economy. But with rapid growth come difficult questions: How can companies secure access to critical technologies and resilient supply chains? How do they balance global partnerships with the urgent need to drive local innovation that creates intellectual property, new products, and global competitiveness? How can they attract capital in a crowded market, while building businesses that endure?

This session will examine how companies across India’s tech ecosystem — from startups to multinationals — are navigating these challenges and positioning themselves for sustainable growth in a fast-changing global environment. It will also spotlight the rise of manufacturing enablers, which are helping global and Indian companies alike design, prototype, and manufacture in India at scale — making “Make in India” a practical reality rather than just a policy slogan.

Key Discussion Points

What are the toughest barriers
to accessing critical technologies
and building reliable supply
chains in India today?

How can companies balance
the benefits of global
collaboration with the need
to strengthen local innovation?

 From an investor’s perspective,
what makes India’s tech
ecosystem attractive — and what
concerns still hold it back?

Looking ahead, where do you
see the most promising opportunities
for growth and leadership
emerging from India?

 What role can GCCs play in strengthening India’s tech ecosystem — moving beyond cost arbitrage to drive local innovation, build resilient supply chains, and create global competitiveness?

The discussion will highlight real-world business challenges — from access to innovation and competitive positioning, to supply chain risks and investment flows. It will also explore how India’s evolving tech ecosystem can remain attractive to global partners and investors, while driving sustainable growth and innovation from within.
