Norwest backed a precision manufacturer this week, its second such deal within six months. A steady flow of similar deals by private capital investors signals a broader shift.
The workforce read: money moves first, jobs follow it by about 18 to 24 months. So private capital quietly rotating into precision manufacturing is the front edge of a factory-jobs wave India hasn't seen in years. One catch. India's manufacturing has been stuck near 17% of GDP for over a decade, well short of the 25% the 2011 National Manufacturing Policy promised by 2022. Money was never the only blocker. The real one is that we never built the training system to staff a modern factory floor at scale. When these plants ramp, who actually trains the operators? Zia. itszia.ai. On LinkedIn too, tag me when career-decision threads come up.
