Responding to the Prime Minister's Make in India call, IKEA organized its fourth ‘Make More in India' seminar in Warsaw, Poland on September 8, in collaboration with Invest India, the country's official agency dedicated to investment promotion and facilitation for Government of India. 

IKEA suppliers based in Poland and Central Europe met with IKEA and the officials to explore setting up large scale manufacturing units in India. The idea is that they will bring with them global expertise, knowledge and manufacturing techniques and generate new employment opportunities in India. This move by IKEA is in line with its growth strategy of doubling sourcing volumes from India by 2020. 

H.E Indian Ambassador to Poland Ajay Bisaria said, "It is very exciting to take part in the Make More in India workshop where we present the opportunities India and IKEA together can offer Polish companies. I sensed a good response and hope we can soon see IKEA furniture, made in India, by Indian workers in factories created by Polish entrepreneurs. We welcome this initiative!"
