  The topic of my research is "Learning and Upgrading in Global Value Chains:
An Analysis of India's Manufacturing Sector". To analyse India's learning and
upgrading through position, functions, specialisation & value addition of
manufacturing GVCs, it is required to quantify the extent, drivers, and impacts
of India's Manufacturing links in GVCs. I have transformed this overall broad
objective into three fundamental questions: (1) What is the extent of India's
Manufacturing Links in GVCs? (2) What are the determinants of India's
Manufacturing Links in GVCs? (3) What are the impacts of India's Manufacturing
Links in GVCs? These three objectives represent my three chapters in my PhD
thesis.
