Pune (Maharashtra) [India], February 27: In a significant step towards self-reliance in toy manufacturing, Sashakt Toytech Pvt. Ltd. has launched the Power Puzzle Game, an innovative and educational toy designed and made in India. This marks the first in a series of high-quality, locally produced toys aimed at reducing dependence on imports and promoting India’s toy-making capabilities.

Despite being a major consumer of toys, India’s toy production has remained underdeveloped, with the market dominated by imported products. Sashakt Toytech is set to change this by ensuring that Indian children have access to world-class, locally made toys. The company prioritises locally sourced materials and adheres to global safety and quality standards.

The company envisions a “Sashakt Bharat” (Empowered India), where locally made toys contribute not only to children’s cognitive development but also to national economic growth. By promoting indigenous craftsmanship and creating employment opportunities, particularly for women, the company aims to drive a sustainable transformation in the industry.

The inspiration behind this initiative traces back to 2022, when Aman Singh, Founder and Director of Sashakt Toytech, encountered a thought-provoking moment in a toy shop. A young boy, after picking up a toy marked ‘Made in China’ asked his mother, “Am I also made in China?” This innocent yet profound question deeply resonated with Singh, motivating him to establish a company making toys in India.

Says Mr. Singh: “Our mission is simple: We want India to become self-sufficient in toy manufacturing while providing children with innovative and educational toys. The Power Puzzle Game is just the beginning. Our vision is to create a host of toys that support skill development and creativity. We are committed to making India a global hub for toy production and have many more exciting games in the pipeline.”

The Power Puzzle Game is an innovative and engaging puzzle that stimulates critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Aman Singh’s journey from running a small rented toy shop in 2017 to leading an emerging toy manufacturing company exemplifies perseverance and vision. His deep understanding of the Indian market has positioned Sashakt Toytech as a brand that educates, inspires and empowers through play.

Beyond strengthening the domestic toy industry, Sashakt Toytech aims to position Indian-made toys as formidable competitors to global brands.

As the brand continues to grow, it calls upon parents, educators and policymakers to support homegrown innovation. By choosing Indian-made toys, they can contribute to a self-reliant India while cultivating creativity and learning in children.

New Delhi [India], February 27: With a lot of revolutions shaping the world lately, one of the most significant ones is happening in the global fertilizers market. The fertilizer sector is expected to witness a transformative period of robust growth, opening doors for more avenues.

In 2033, it’s all set to rise to USD 297.33 Billion, growing at a CAGR of 3.60% during the forecast period of 2025-2033. If we have a sneak peek into recent times, then the worth of the global fertilizers market was USD 216.27 billion in 2024 and this year, it’s expected to be around 224.05 billion.

PS Gahlaut, the managing director of Indian Potash Limited, believes, “It’s a golden period to discover more avenues for agricultural productivity and this can also serve as a ladder for the growth of farmers.”

Fertilizers have been one of the most instrumental agricultural inputs. They’re one of the key resources to catalyze and maximize the soil productivity which in turn elevates healthy growth in plants. The sources of fertilizers, however, have been both natural and synthetic. The organic ones are made from plant/animal sources like seaweed, worm castings, compost, manure and so on. While the synthetic ones are made from minerals, atmospheric nitrogen and inorganic waste materials. But they both contain three main macronutrients essential in modern agriculture: Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K) and Nitrogen (N). To use these fertilizers, the farmers make use of dry, pelletized and liquid methods along with large agricultural machinery and hand tools.

All in all, fertilizers – of every kind – have been very instrumental in boosting agricultural productivity. No wonder why with an increase in demand in food globally, the fertilizer market is expected to see a boom as well.

Due to an ever-growing population globally, there has been an increase in demand for these fertilizers. A spike in world population has eventually increased the demand of food which has in turn led to more demand for fertilizers that can catalyze the agricultural yields. Even in India, the demand is increasing particularly in regions like Punjab, UP and Maharashtra – the states that contribute significantly to the national consumption. With the Indian population expected to be 1.7 billion by 2064, the demand of agricultural products will only see a sharp rise.

However, another aspect to this phenomenon is the decline in the cultivable lands. FAO’s Resource Outlook to 2050 states that the planet’s land surface used for crop production is more than 1.5 Billion hectares – which is approximately 12%. There’s now more pressure on the existing crop yielding lands to have more crop production. Which again can be fueled by the usage of optimum fertilization. With so many factors at play, it’s vital to use the fertilizers in an optimal way which is also magnifying the world of the fertilizers market.

This challenge is met by the government through various measures. To ensure that agricultural production doesn’t decline, they’ve been offering support through incentives, subsidies, loans and other means. All of this has shielded farmers from the elevating cost of fertilizers. Considering the Indian market, the farmers here purchase urea at 30% of CIF – Cost Insurance and Freight prices. The government has kept the urea prices in control as compared to other fertilizers like DAP and MOP. Not only this, India also imports around 3 million tonnes annually. The government has also introduced programs like Soil health management to promote the efficient fertilizer usage. Thus various schemes and agreements to encourage more fertilizers are anticipated to boost the fertilizers market in the said period of 2025-2033. Not only in India, but the global market as well.

However, the increasing demand of fertilizers is also met with other challenges. The most important being the environmental consequences.

The negative impact of chemical fertilizers on the environment is a pressing issue that’s grabbing eyeballs and attention. Their excess use causes emission of greenhouse gases, may cause detrimental effects like fertilizer burn, deteriorate plant health and eventually hamper the agricultural productivity that it was supposed to enhance. The chemical fertilizer usage may even cause groundwater contamination and other irreversible environmental damage. All of these factors and the awareness of the harm they’re causing may pose a hindrance to the expected market growth.

But every problem comes with a solution. To reduce the negative impact on the environment, there are ways devised to reduce the environmental footprint of these fertilizers.

Companies like Indian Potash Limited (IPL) have emerged as a key player time and again to promote climate resilient farming practices. PS Gahlaut’s visionary leadership has often come up with solutions to tackle the same. Indian Potash Limited also serves as an example of a great technological development in the fertilizers industry to fight off the negative environmental challenges.

Another example is of Urea Deep Placement (UDP) technology in Bangladesh which reduced the consumption by 30-35% and increased the productivity by 15-18%. It was introduced by IFDC in 2016.

PS Gahlaut also mentions, “With great power comes great responsibility. Market growth shouldn’t happen at the expense of the environment and we should all come up with our own ways of reducing the negative environmental consequences. At Indian Potash Limited, we are striving to do the same.”

Another challenge is the micronutrient deficiency in plants and soil. Something that has been raising eyebrows globally. Food is being produced but if it’s lacking in the nutrients – then how good is it? – A question that’s been on discussion tables. Which is why there’s a massive involvement in research and development to introduce better micronutrient products. And this mission has achieved milestones as well.

During this forecast period of substantial growth in the fertilizer market, the cooperative sector will also have a key role to play. As they can make use of their network and outreach to rural areas, they can be pivotal in distribution of fertilizers to farmers. Along with government aid, they can offer discounts on the fertilizers, making it easier for the marginal farmers.

All of these challenges, along with the technical advancements will serve as a fuel to create more avenues for market growth for fertilizers globally. PS Gahlaut anticipates the period of 2025-2033 as not only a commercial growth in the arena of fertilizers, but also a new period of innovation and excellence in the industry.

New Delhi [India], February 25: India has transformed itself in the last 10 years – from being the 5^th Largest Economy, having the highest population & having the 2^nd Largest Road Network in the World. In the Wake of Escalating Trade Wars between United States & its largest trading Partners – China, Mexico & Canada. Does India have a chance to become the Next Big Manufacturing Superpower? Answer is yes.

India is a large country by sheer size with abundant availability of land to set up Manufacturing plants.
It has the highest population in the World, a very large young population that is entering work force, making the cost of labor low as compared to most of the major countries. Government is pushing its narrative of “Make in India” Strategy. Moreover, India has launched a “Production Linked Incentive” or “PLI” Scheme in the last few years to Incentivize factories to increase manufacturing & become more competitive in the Export market. In the latest Budget 2025, India’s Finance Minister Laid Out Initiatives to Increase Funding to the Medium & Small-Scale industries, along with a Boost in spending for Infrastructure – Beneficial to Boost Overall Exports.

Indian Government is making efforts to Improve its Infrastructure for Logistics. India has now the 2^nd Largest Road Network in the World, only after USA, which is a significant improvement in the last decade. It has launched a detailed “Logistics Policy” to modernize Ports & Railway. With the Modernization of Infrastructure, India aims to reduce Logistics Costs from the current 14-18% of GDP to come closer to the Global Average of 8%, making it more attractive in the Export Market.

Intensifying USA Trade War with China, Mexico, Canada

With the Trade War intensifying between USA – China, Mexico, Canada – India has now a clear advantage. All US Importers are now looking at Diversifying their Supply chain & reducing their dependence on these countries, while looking to enter New Markets like – India, Vietnam, Thailand, among others.

India has a definite advantage over others. With its manpower, land & Infrastructure, India can help match the Scale of operations needed to Produce & Export to Countries like US & major EU countries. It also offers an Excellent Infrastructure like a Long Coastline, Deep Sea ports, Growing Number of Airports, Improved Road network & Modernization of Rail Network.

What are the Commodities that India can focus on?

• Automobiles, engines, transmissions and other components. GM & a few other Automobile companies including Stellantis, Toyota & Honda make as much as 40% of their North American cars / Trucks in Canada & Mexico.
• Mobile Phones: China today is the biggest Source of Electronics /Smart Phones Imports into USA. However, the Smartphone Manufacturing in India is growing Rapidly. In 2024, Apple i-Phones manufactured in India accounted for 15% of Apple’s global production capacity.  India is now the 2^nd -largest mobile phone manufacturer globally, with over 200 manufacturing facilities.
• Semi-Conductor/Chips: Several Makers of Chips and Semi-conductor companies like TSMC, Nvidia & ASML are likely to be impacted due to their Global Supply chains include factories in Mexico and China. India has a vision to Grow Semiconductor & has recently launched ‘India Semiconductor Mission (ISM)’ to boost manufacturing.

To summarize, for India, the Time is Now! India’s Story can be similar to what China’s was in the 1990-2010 decades. If India continues its efforts on improving its Manufacturing Ecosystem & reducing Bureaucracies & Roadblocks, then becoming the Next Big Superpower of Manufacturing will soon be a Reality, rather than just a dream.
