Karkhana.io’s Interactive Meet at IESS Chennai – Driving Conversations on India’s Manufacturing Growth
We had an incredible time hosting our Interactive Meet at the India Engineering Sourcing Show (IESS) in Chennai, where industry leaders, MSMEs, and stakeholders came together for an engaging discussion on India’s evolving manufacturing landscape and its critical role in economic growth and GDP contribution.
Exploring the Role of MSMEs in India’s Manufacturing Ecosystem
One of the key themes of the discussion was the pivotal role of MSMEs as the backbone of India’s manufacturing industry. With their deep-rooted presence across sectors like automotive, industrial automation, electronics, aerospace, and IoT, MSMEs are essential to driving economic growth and global competitiveness. However, they often face significant challenges in terms of scalability, operational efficiency, and access to advanced manufacturing expertise.
How Karkhana.io is Addressing These Challenges
At Karkhana.io, we are committed to bridging the gap between MSMEs and large enterprises (OEMs) by providing scalable, end-to-end contract manufacturing solutions. During the meet, we delved into how our network of 600+ MSME suppliers is helping businesses overcome operational bottlenecks and scale more efficiently.
Some of the key initiatives we highlighted:
- Enabling MSMEs to Scale Up – Providing access to high-quality manufacturing capabilities including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, PCB assembly, and box-build solutions.
- Streamlining Operations with Digital Manufacturing – Helping MSMEs adopt tech-driven procurement, smart supply chain management, and data-driven decision-making to enhance efficiency.
- Engineering Expertise Support – Offering design-to-manufacturing support, prototyping, and localization to help MSMEs build global-quality products at competitive costs.
- Bridging MSMEs & OEMs – Acting as a single point of contact for OEMs looking to outsource and localize their supply chain in India, ensuring seamless execution from prototype to mass production.
A Vision to Make MSMEs Global Players
Our mission extends beyond just enabling cost efficiency and scalability—we aim to empower MSMEs to amplify their impact on a global scale. By integrating India’s manufacturing capabilities with international supply chains, we are helping Indian manufacturers become globally competitive and drive innovation in high-growth industries.
Thank You for Being Part of the Conversation
We extend our gratitude to everyone who joined us at IESS Chennai and contributed to the thought-provoking discussions on India’s manufacturing potential, MSME empowerment, and the future of industrial innovation. The insights and collaborations from this event reaffirmed that India’s manufacturing ecosystem is on an accelerated path toward global leadership.
At Karkhana.io, we remain committed to building the future of manufacturing by enabling MSMEs to thrive, innovate, and expand their reach.
