The vision of IESA is making India the global hub for design and manufacturing with special emphasis on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, for revamping the landscape of the ESDM ecosystem in India. A collaborative effort will help accelerate the process and I am looking forward to working with KOTRA for a substantial growth in the coming years”.
