"We have infrastructure, manpower, and resources in Uttarakhand. What we need now is to provide a dialogue between manufacturers, service providers and end users. The presence of large companies presents a huge opportunity for the medium and small industries vis--vis vendor development, ancillary development, becoming component supplier, services like transport, logistics etc as well as also a huge opportunity for manpower development but it is critical for them to seize these opportunities.
