India Plans China-style Dorms for its Workers

India is eyeing a manufacturing leap, aiming to raise the sector’s GDP contribution to 25% by 2047. But inadequate housing near industrial hubs threatens this ambition.

Tamil Nadu is leading the charge with large-scale projects like Foxconn's Sriperumbudur campus housing 18,000 employees.

Join Dia Rekhi and Dhruv Shekhar, Senior Associate at Koan Advisory Group, as they discuss this new industrial housing wave, its societal implications, government incentives, and lessons India can learn from global examples.
