Why fusion strategy is the way forward for India?

In 2023, India became the fifth-largest economy in the world. It is expected to rise to third by 2030. That can happen only if India builds a strong manufacturing sector where we make “smart products”—products that transmit real-time data at moments of use. India can excel in fusion strategy-- integrating physical with digital-- for several reasons:



  • India produces thousands of engineering graduates and IT software professionals.
  • India has world class public digital infrastructure for identity (Aadhaar), transactions (Distributed Storage Technology), and payments (UPI).
  • There is a renewed focus on “Make in India”.


For too long, Indian manufacturing has been in the shadows. It is manufacturing’s time to shine by combining the best of human capital with digital power. Historically, India’s IT Services Sector and India’s Manufacturing Sector operated independently. The time is right to fuse the two to forge ahead. Indian industrials of all sizes can go from being digitally deficient to catapulting ahead of the curve. That is the promise of fusion strategy.



Session Overview

This masterclass will give you the knowledge and practical insights into how real- time data and AI will radically transform physical products–and the companies that make them.

Tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, and Google can collect real-time data from billions of users. For companies that design and manufacture physical products, that type of fluid, data-rich information used to be a pipe dream. Now, with the rise of cheap and powerful sensors, computing power, and artificial intelligence, things are changing–fast.

In this masterclass, world-renowned innovation guru Vijay Govindarajan offers a first- of-a-kind playbook that will help companies combine what they do best–create physical products–with what digitals do best–use algorithms and artificial intelligence to parse ginormous, interconnected datasets–to make strategic connections that would otherwise be impossible.

The laws of competitive advantage are changing, rewarding those who have the most robust real-time insights rather than the most valuable assets. To compete in the new digital age, companies need to use real-time data to turbocharge their products, strategies, and customer relationships. Or else they’ll fall on the wrong side of the next great digital divide.
