Dear authors,

You position India to be an attractive destination for manufacturing because of cheaper labour than China, won't the emerging wave of industrial automation possibly change that? Companies may find automating their low-skill / labour intensive jobs more efficient than possibly shifting their global supply chains.

Perhaps the previous trend of manufacturing jobs moving to a geography with cheaper labour won't be true forever.

What's your opinion on this? If this is indeed a challenge India must face, how should it prepare?
