Good step forward. But I hope the benefits actually reach the small MSMEs and startups, not just the big corporates. The government must ensure a level playing field and provide support for smaller businesses to navigate the new export rules.

Make in India getting a global boost! This is exactly what we needed. More jobs, more investment in manufacturing. Gujarat is perfectly positioned to lead this charge. Feeling proud as a Gujarati today. Jai Hind!

Interesting to see this from an international perspective. Stronger India-US ties are good for global stability. Hope this also means more affordable Indian products for American consumers. Win-win.

Pharma and chemicals from Gujarat will see a huge surge. This deal validates the quality and competitiveness of Indian manufacturing. Let's hope other states also get similar focus and benefits. The entire country should grow.

While the deal is promising, I'm cautiously optimistic. We've heard big announcements before. The real test will be in the implementation and how quickly the common entrepreneur on the ground feels the positive impact. Fingers crossed!
