New Delhi, June 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday said that Indian entrepreneurs should be mindful that they are representing the country when labelling a product 'Made in India'.
In a post on X, the minister said that quality is a national responsibility for Indian entrepreneurs.
He cited the example of Aqeel Panaruna from Ambur, Tamil Nadu, founder of Florence Shoe Company, whom he met at the Business Plenary Session in London.
Aqeel shared the experience of an international customer spotting a luxury Hugo Boss shoe at Cairo Airport, checking the label and seeing the words ‘Made in India’ — a product manufactured by his company.
"For entrepreneurs like Aqeel, quality is not just a corporate metric, it is a national responsibility. His work has not only put Indian craftsmanship on global shelves for iconic brands but has also driven large-scale rural employment, championed women’s empowerment in manufacturing, and pioneered sustainable zero liquid discharge technologies," the minister lauded.
As we strengthen the India-UK trade corridors, entrepreneurs like him are proving to the world that BRAND INDIA stands at the very top tier, he added.
Goyal congratulated entrepreneurs like Aqeel, who make the ‘Made in India’ label a symbol of trust, excellence, and pride and set global benchmarks.
Earlier in the day, he had a productive roundtable interaction with Asia House and senior executives from leading global firms on strengthening economic partnerships and exploring future opportunities.
“Highlighted India’s strong manufacturing ecosystem and the immense opportunities across sectors that can further deepen our partnership through the India-UK CETA,” the minister said in another post on X.
Goyal also had an interactive luncheon meeting with UKIBC members, engaging with C-suite representatives from leading global organisations on advancing the India-UK growth agenda.
“The discussions focused on unlocking new opportunities, accelerating investments, and deepening collaboration across sectors to foster shared growth while further strengthening India’s global competitiveness,” he added.
