Excellent initiative! German companies have always been quality-focused and their investment in India will boost our manufacturing sector. The focus on skilling is much needed - we need to prepare our workforce for global standards.

While I appreciate these diplomatic efforts, I hope the government ensures that these partnerships benefit our MSME sector too. Sometimes big foreign investments overshadow our local small businesses. Balance is important.
