Manufacturing Today spoke with Anil G Verma, Executive Director & CEO of Godrej & Boyce, part of Godrej Enterprises Group, about the evolution of India's manufacturing sector since 1947 and the pioneering role of Godrej & Boyce in shaping the industry's growth over the decades.

In an era where global manufacturing dynamics are shifting, the story of Godrej stands as a testament to the power of indigenous innovation and the spirit of self-reliance. Founded in 1897 by the visionary Parsi brothers Ardeshir and Pirojsha Godrej, the company began its journey with a modest lock manufacturing unit in Mumbai. Over the past 127 years, Godrej has evolved into one of India's premier multinational conglomerates, encompassing a diverse range of sectors, including consumer goods, real estate, industrial engineering, and aerospace.

Today, Godrej & Boyce is not just a participant in the "Make in India" initiative but a pioneer, committed to Godrej's success story is deeply interwoven with India's economic and social evolution narrative.

The company initially gained recognition for its innovative products, such as the world's first springless lock and its contributions to the Swadeshi movement through the production of vegetarian soaps, which were endorsed by luminaries like Rabindranath Tagore and Annie Besant. These early innovations provided practical solutions and instilled a sense of national pride during a time when India was grappling with colonial rule.

Godrej's influence extends far beyond its product line. The company has played a pivotal role in nation-building, contributing to significant national projects that have shaped India's history.
