Customer matters, not politics or government: Philippe Cochet
We already have a role in Make in India. We have 21 factories in India and I think that's quite a number. We have our plants located in Bangalore, Pune, Vadodara…
Philippe Cochet, General Electric’s chief productivity officer and a member of its corporate executive council, was recently in Pune for a supplier conference. In an interview to ET, Cochet says the US-based conglomerate will introduce the latest hot trends in manufacturing, such as 3D printing and additive manufacturing, to its factories in India. This, he says, will happen “faster than anybody can think”.

Are you looking at new verticals and opportunities in India?
Our strong verticals in India are aviation, power, healthcare definitely, energy connections with grade and high voltage...the HVDC opportunities in India is a big one, so those are the four, we are big in India. Transportation is another one. Then there is one we are starting: we have invested recently in additives, in 3D printing area, laser melting (in the US). I think this is something we need to develop in India too as additive is going to disrupt supply chain and India should invest in it.
So, how soon can this happen in India?
It'll happen faster than anybody can think.I think you will see by 2020, additives would have taken a fair share especially in industries like power, aviation and most certainly, the car industry.
