He also said that in the connected world, manufacturing will become customer-centric and India must embrace technology with all its might.
“India should not miss the opportunity presented by the fourth industrial revolution, which will also create new kinds of highly paid and highly skilled jobs. “There is an rgent need for more industry-academia collaboration and to develop requisite skills in technology,” Kant said at an event organised by industry body CII.
