Freedomfacturers:the Unsung Freedom Fighters of Indian Manufacturing

Teachers and books taught well in terms of the theory that neem is a good antioxidant, hydrating agent and skin purifier. But, it is neither the teachers nor books who manufactured the neem-soap. They are the manufacturers, who without demanding machinery, automated equipment and large capital brought ahead their workmanlike artisanship and manufacturing soap just with the help of neem. Putting an end to the irony of their uncelebrated manufacturing contributions, it is time to hear and speak about them, who brought ‘Independence’ from manufacturing challenges that are small, but significant.

From hats, apparel to advanced machinery and from there to the planes and aircraft in space, the whole world is aware of the developments which took place, are taking place and will take place in the forthcoming time. But, who knows what is going on in the backyards of the unsung manufacturing heroes who are behind these developments? From taking birth to being brought up, inculcating memories associated with different things, every person has a journey. But, who recognize those unexplored, unknown and unsung heroes who bring about the manufacturing of those memories, right from the scratch?

Machine Maker solely accredits the unspoken and unsung stories of the talent, skills and people that remain behind the scenes but, plays a critical role in the success of a dynamic economy. Therefore, Machine Maker, to bless this independence week is bringing ahead the unsung stories of the manufacturing heroes, who brought ‘freedom’ from the manufacturing problems. Not being limited to the native constraints, they extended their ‘freedom campaign’ against the manufacturing challenges worldwide, making the global leading countries accept the iron of the Indian Manufacturing Potential

From the time of Independence in the year 1947 to its 75th anniversary, these manufacturing heroes have proved to be the spine of the manufacturing transformations which have been captivated and will undergo the same in the future. But, amidst this development process, a key take up is the recognition of the heroes of manufacturing who bestowed both, the society as well as the industry the manufacturing solutions.

These unheard heroes are at the forefront of the ceaseless global efforts to combat several manufacturing challenges. The manufacturing problems, at micro as well as at macro level have been addressed by these frontline manufacturers.  The series of the stories would consist of the inspiring leadership in the manufacturing sector right from their evolution to their engravement on the milestone of manufacturing.

From a teacher to the wall clock manufacturer, from thermo-ware manufacturer to the pioneer of Casseroles in the Indian kitchens, from a family-owned business to become a world-class syringe manufacturer for assisting the vaccination in battling COVID 19 and from multinational automotive manufacturer to India’s second-largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, from automotive two-wheelers to the steel manufacturing and then extending the horizon to electronics manufacturing, every story brings a distinct touch to manufacturing excellence.

Through this exclusive series, Machine Maker foresees to make an arduous call to action to recall the unsung freedom fighters of Manufacturing –the Freedomfacturers who are responsible for getting the manufacturing independent from the clutches of challenges and problems.
