As someone working in manufacturing, I appreciate the focus on MSMEs. With 65 million small businesses, technology transfer and knowledge sharing can transform our entire industrial landscape. South Korea's expertise in EVs and smart logistics could be game-changing.

While I support such partnerships, I hope we're not just becoming an assembly hub for foreign technology. We need to ensure technology transfer happens and Indian companies develop their own R&D capabilities. Make in India should mean innovate in India too.

The clean energy focus is much needed! With climate change concerns, green manufacturing should be our priority. South Korea's advanced tech combined with India's scale can create sustainable solutions for the world.

Good move! But implementation is key. We've seen many MoUs signed that don't translate to actual projects. Hope this partnership creates jobs and boosts local manufacturing rather than just importing finished goods.
