Talking about empowering people to manufacture in India and, thereby, supporting the Government’s vision of Make in India, Mr Soni shared his thoughts on the Make in India campaign and the growth potential of the Indian market in the upcoming years. In the context of Electronica India, Mr Soni has also shared intricate details about the company’s aims to introduce innovative solutions aligning with emerging trends, especially in Electric Vehicles (EVs).

Mr Soni revealed their offerings, particularly a Battery Management System (BMS) tailored for reliable EV products. In addition to this, he also highlighted their promotion of cutting-edge products like the Japanese Stanley’s driver monitoring IR LED system, designed to detect driver drowsiness and issue timely alerts, thereby elevating safety standards.

The government’s active promotion of the “Make in India” initiative, according to Mr Soni, is a narrative of inspiration for numerous entrepreneurs to embark on manufacturing ventures within the country. Semiconic Devices is a proud part of this crucial initiative by the Indian Government as they are positioned as vital raw material suppliers. Their role in the Make in India movement is not merely transactional; it was an integral part of a positive trend where the demand for components surged alongside the growing wave of local production.

As Mr Soni shared his thoughts on this journey, it became clear that the narrative of “Make in India” was not just a governmental campaign but a collective narrative of growth and self-reliance. The Indian market, as envisioned by Mr Soni and echoed through the operations of Semiconic Devices, was on a consistent expansion mission, driven by the collective efforts of those answering the call to manufacture within the nation’s borders. Hence Semiconic Devices, in the context of the larger landscape of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’, has emerged not just as a supplier but also as one of the key contributors to India’s economic evolution and self-sufficiency.
