Industries of India

A research project

Industries of India

A research effort to map industries, approached through study and theory.

Industries of India begins with a simple conviction: philosophy begins with material thinking. To understand how the world works, study the things it runs on - where each came from, how it works, and how the industry around it grew. That is what this project does, one subject at a time.
