Rajendra Velagapudi, Managing Director & CEO, Cyient DLM updates EMSNOW on his company’s most recent quarterly results and recent strategic initiatives. Cyient DLM (Design-Led Manufacturing) was one of the companies visited on the On Tour India trip, and Eric continues the conversation from last month digging more deeply into what it means to be ‘design led’.

Rajendra explains the difference between ‘build to print’ and ‘build to spec’ and how this change of focus brings more value to customers. Cyient DLM is very strong in highly regulated end markets, including defense, aerospace, EV, and medical systems, he says, which reflects his own engineering background and experience.

The discussion also covers how the growth in the domestic market for electronics is a very healthy element in the overall prospects for India.

This conversation helps provide the background and context to understand why India continues to be of critical interest to anyone following global trends in electronics manufacturing.
