Optiemus Infracom plans to manufacture Corning Gorilla glass in India by 2024

In addition to this endeavour, Optiemus Infracom is poised to manufacture drones in India. Gupta underscored the significance of localisation and expressed enthusiasm about the comprehensive research and development prospects it offers.

He stated, “Earlier we never got a chance for localisation because research and development (R&D) was done by somebody else, supply chain was controlled by somebody else and we were just assembling. Now gradually we are going into localisation. Drones is the first project where I am excited that R&D will be completely done in India. Since R&D is done in India, we can easily do localisation which is the need of the hour.”

“Our focus as a company is that one division should focus only on R&D for the next 5-10 years. Labour cost is good in India- nobody can compete with us. However drones is one project where we have the opportunity for R&D, manufacturing, employment and gradually we will be able to export because of the geopolitical situation,” Gupta further elaborated.
