We need to forge a grand alliance amongst all players in the plastic sector. Plastindia is an inspiring beginning in that direction. If we do so, we can conquer the world plastic market as all ingredients of success are available. This generation has a chance to create history and go down in the world as the India decade in plastics. Let us put our resources together, rise above petty differences and achieve this.
Manufacturing is a sunset industry in the west.
Plastics consumption there is the highest on a per capita basis. A shift in manufacturing base from the west to a region with low labour cost, high knowledge and technology base can be expected. India has a competitive advantage in this respect . Combine this competitive advantage with our entrepreneurship and we will be unbeatable. We need to have a mindset where we cannot be followers for all time.
