A Vision for India and Beyond: Gaurab Majumdar's Leadership Across the Southern Hemisphere
July 23, 2025 | Michelle Te, Community MagazineEstimated reading time: 1 minute
India’s electronics manufacturing industry is on a steep upward trajectory, propelled by strategic government policies, a vast market, and promising global supply chain shifts.
Manufacturing accounts for about 17% of India’s GDP and employs over 27 million workers. In the past two years, the manufacturing industry grew by 21%, driven by sectors like electronics, metals, and automobiles. Policies that include Make in India and a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) have attracted significant investment. Electronics exports reached $29.11 billion in FY24, up 23% from FY23. They are pivotal in India’s manufacturing industry, which is projected to hit $1 trillion by 2026.
Gaurab Majumdar, vice president of Global Electronics Association—India, Southeast Asia, Middle East, and Africa, joined the Global Electronics Association (formerly known as IPC) in 2020 and has taken full advantage of the industry's enormous growth by leading the Global Electronics Association—India to increase membership and certification by 40%, partnering with more than 50 companies to promote the benefits of Association membership, and collaborating with more than 20 government stakeholders.
Additionally, his team developed the Integrated Electronics Manufacturing and Interconnections (IEMI) event, which has been the largest networking event in South Asia for the electronics industry for the past three years. IEMI started in India and had a satellite event in Malaysia in 2024. Now, Gaurab is extending his outreach to the Middle East, Africa, and Australia.
“One of our key focuses at the Global Electronics Association has been to create real value for our members,” Gaurab says. “We’ve worked on increasing engagement by organizing industry-specific events, technical sessions, and educational programs that allow professionals to connect with and exchange knowledge.”
