Britain once ruled nearly a quarter of the world's population.
America shaped the global order for the last 80 years.
China is challenging that order today.
What did all three have in common?
Factories.
Before Britain had an empire, it had the Industrial Revolution.
Before America had the dollar, it had the world's largest manufacturing base.
Before China had the Belt and Road Initiative, it became the factory of the world.
History is clear:
No country has become a superpower by selling PowerPoints to each other.
Superpowers make things.
- Steel
- Ships
- Machines
- Cars
- Semiconductors
If India wants to become a superpower, we need more people building factories, not just startups.
Steve Jobs in 2006 on why it’s tough to make tech products people want:
“A lot of companies do things because it’s technically possible. But in the end, nobody cares. Nobody wants to buy them.”

- wouldn't really know crazy nuances of the market
- wouldn't see the future
- wouldn't care so much
So you are probably the right CEO
