> At the other end of the spectrum are innumerable tinpot workshops, employing handfuls of people and outdated methods.
Sure, there are such workshops. Everywhere.

Anything to back up this claim? How does India compare to other countries on this front? Where is the data? Where is the analysis?

Signifying nothing.
