Welcome & Opening Remarks
Shashank Jain, Enterprise Greenfield Manufacturing Business Leader, AWS
India
Indian manufacturers have been challenged by many pressures over the last few years, from COVID-19
to the impact of conflict. IDC’s November future enterprise resiliency survey indicated that 78% of
Indian manufacturers now expect there to be a recession within the next 12 months. This is resulting
in an emphasis on cost optimisation, employee productivity, business agility and resilience. At the
same time, Indian manufacturers are spending in cloud infrastructure and connectivity as top areas
of priority as they seeks to ensure they are able to create new revenue streams and innovate. This
session will explore the trends and challenges resulting from the geopolitical challenges and
macroeconomic turmoil, and how organizations are adjusting strategy to mitigate negative impact, and
how organizations are using digital to build resilience and enable capabilities that support future
manufacturing excellence and growth.
Manufacturing value proposition to drive holistic EBITDA transformation – Covers aspects of top down
messaging for manufacturing organizations to see how AWS drive 360 degrees impact on profitability
and growth.
Manufacturing organizations aiming to produce more complex products on shorter timelines are
harnessing digital transformation initiatives. While there is no single correct approach to
supporting those improvements, digital twin and digital threads, and a mature integration between
the two can help. Companies that are thinking more broadly about how to define and create these
digital assets will increasingly reap the benefits and improve ROI, decrease potential errors and
issues, improve design and operations as they work to build tomorrow’s products and plants.
“More than 70% of companies are still stuck in “pilot purgatory”, while only a select group of leading manufacturers are able to deploy advanced manufacturing at scale, generating new value and customer experiences within the factory or across value chains (as per World Economic Forum)”
