Even assuming the long-overdue reforms advance expeditiously, augmented manufacturing could result in job slowdown for the next decade. This deceleration comes as companies struggle to restructure their business models and before skill development programmes are applied to the modern-day manufacturing processes. Companies such as Infosys are already cutting their work force in the wake of automation.

Why not produce solar panels in India? “We will certainly produce in India provided we can develop the supply chain here. We have an extensive network of suppliers in components and parts, and without having that we cannot produce. We are a commercial organisation and would go wherever there is business” Li reassures. “Solar should benefit mankind. It should be in harmony, not hurt. That’s our mission statement,” she observed, in conformity with Chinese wisdom and Chinese character.
