In this episode...

Renaud comes to you live from Chennai where he's been travelling around India for two weeks exploring a lot of different types of component suppliers. He reports back on what he's learnt on this visit, how India has been changing, and why there seem to be many reasons now to consider India as an alternative to China for, at least, some of your production.

Renaud covers:

Which areas he visited & regional differences

Political stability

What types of suppliers could be alternatives to Chinese counterparts

Manual Work VS Automation

Where China still trumps India, for now

Who has already been moving to India

Benefits he found about dealing with factory owners and managers, and their operations, over those in China

Is India still let down by a lack of component suppliers for your supply chain?

Sofeast does a lot of work in India, and some of our clients are asking about moving sourcing and production out of China to more stable countries. If you're thinking the same, this quick bonus episode will be very educational!
