Ikea launches its 'Make More In India' campaign

Date : Dec 13, 2014

Ikea has embraced Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Made In India’ campaign and plans to double sourcing from the country, while increasing manufacturing output in the next few years.

Ikea is looking for real estate in India to open new stores and believes it will increase investment in the region from €315 million to €630 million by 2020. Ikea is calling its strategy ‘Make More In India’ as a nod to Modi’s highly publicized campaign.

Sandeep Sanan, head of sourcing at Ikea South Asia, said, “We believe there is tremendous potential in India. We are looking for new suppliers who share our vision and values, are willing to grow with us and become world class suppliers.’’

Ikea already has 48 suppliers in the country with 45,000 direct employees and 400,000 in its extended supply chain. It has been operational in the region for more than 27 years, but is now hoping to expand its presence.

“Ikea is well positioned, not just to ‘Make in India’ for India, but to ‘Make More in India’ for Ikea worldwide,” said Sanan. The company’s sourcing plans “resonate with the Indian Prime Minister’s Make in India agenda,” he added.

It is thought that the Swedish company wants to open stores in Delhi national capital region, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. Globally it has 361 stores across 45 countries.

Ikea was the first major international single-brand retailer to propose investment in India after the government eased the foreign direct investment (FDI) rules. Currently, 100 percent FDI is permitted in single-brand retail.
