During his visit to India in April this year, Apple Inc. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook reiterated his commitments to growth and investment across the country. He met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tweeting later, “We share your vision of the positive impact technology can make on India’s future — from education and developers to manufacturing and the environment, we’re committed to growing and investing across the country.” In response, the Prime Minister tweeted, “Glad to exchange views on diverse topics and highlight the tech-powered transformations taking place in India.” The key to India’s manufacturing growth lies in labour law reforms.
