The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has formally announced a significant partnership with HCLSoftware, a leading global provider of software solutions. This collaboration is part of the Manufacturing Incubation Initiative, designed to enhance India’s startup manufacturing landscape.

This strategic alliance aims to cultivate a robust environment for collaboration between government entities and corporate stakeholders, with a particular focus on promoting innovation within the manufacturing sector. As part of the overarching Startup India initiative, DPIIT has successfully established over 80 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with various industry partners, creating a solid foundation for supporting emerging startups.

Startups engaged in this initiative will gain access to HCLSoftware’s SYNC program, facilitating global market exposure, and enabling them to present their innovations to an international audience. This partnership aligns with the Indian government’s broader objective to position the nation as a prominent production hub on the global stage.

The initiative is structured around three core objectives: firstly, to promote the development of Indian intellectual property by encouraging startups to create unique, India-specific products and solutions; secondly, to enhance product quality by providing startups with the necessary tools and expertise to meet international standards; and thirdly, to establish a comprehensive manufacturing ecosystem that connects startups with suppliers, thereby facilitating a seamless production value chain.

Sanjiv Singh, Joint Secretary at DPIIT, underscored the significance of this partnership in establishing a sustainable manufacturing ecosystem. He articulated that HCLSoftware’s extensive expertise aligns seamlessly with DPIIT’s vision, allowing for the flourishing of Indian innovation and helping local businesses secure a more substantial foothold in global markets.

Dr. Sumeet K. Jarangal, Director of Startup India, highlighted that the primary aim of this collaboration is to empower Indian startups through access to advanced digital technologies and global market opportunities, thereby stimulating growth within the manufacturing sector.
