The COVID-19 outbreak confronted the world with its dependence on China as the factory of the world. As a result, we are seeing more and more multinational companies moving production to other countries, either in Asia or closer to home. In doing so, many companies are also looking seriously at opportunities in India, Asia's democratic and English-speaking superpower.

Apple, Samsung and Johnson & Johnson are among the most notable companies that recently opened factories in India. Smaller SMEs are also increasingly opting for a manufacturing location in India.
