The global electronics manufacturing sector has witnessed unprecedented shifts over the recent years which is driven by supply chain vulnerabilities, geopolitical tensions  across the world and the changing economic dynamics .  But  at the center of those transformations lies the complicated relationship between major technology  companies and their manufacturing partners and suppliers, particularly in the context of geographical diversification strategies . The recent decision taken by the Foxconn Technology Group to recall hundreds of Chinese engineers and technicians from its Indian iPhone  manufacturing facilities represents a very pivotal moment in this evolving and very much dynamic landscape.
Foxconn India , began its  iPhone production in 2019,  this has been integral  to Apple’s strategy of reducing its dependence on Chinese manufacturing.  The withdrawal of Chinese technical staff , particularly during the time when Apple would be preparing for the mass production of the iPhone 17 , raises critical questions about the sustainability of technology transfer , and the absence of skilled personnel in manufacturing excellence in India , and the impact that geopolitical considerations would have on Corporate decision - making.
