The exhibition opened with a high profile conference which saw enthusiastic participation from the leading lights of India’s fastest growing telecom and electronic manufacturers. The 6th International conference on EMS (Electronic Manufacturing Services) and Contract Manufacturing, provided vital insights from an Indian perspective. It reiterated the fact that the demand for electronic gadgets, appliances and equipment is growing briskly and companies are increasingly turning to EMS firms to feed this growing pipeline. Much of this growth has been propelled by the burgeoning demand for telecom equipment and consumer products, including mobile handsets.

The Conference showcased two interactive panel discussions; the first covered ‘Local Mobile Phone Manufacturing-Opportunity or Challenge’, with a distinguished panel including Mr. Jaideep Ghosh, Partner with KPMG, Mr. Ajjay Agarwal, MD of Maxx Mobile, Mr. Khalid Zamir, AVP – Mobile Division of Videocon, Mr. Manoj  Pant, Director of Operations in Starion, Mr. T.C Sudhir , Executive Director of WIWO Mobile, and Mr. Balasubramanium, Director at QUAD Electronics. They highlighted the exciting opportunities open to the local mobile phone and component manufacturers, despite the ever changing market dynamics and challenges presented. An ecosystem created with a favorable policy environment coupled with a strong R&D focus can push the country’s play in manufacturing in the global arena.

The second discussion glossed over ‘EMS Business-Can India become a global hub for EMS?!’ and the panel included Mr. Atul Lall, Managing Director of Dixon, Mr. Christopher Johnson, Operations Director at JABIL, Mr. Jairam Sampath, Chief of Operations of KAYNES , Mr. Gururaj, Director at QUAD, Mr. Suresh Nair, CTO of SFO Technologies and Mr. Sanjiv Narayan, Managing Director of SGS Technologies.
