WALTON is paving the way for BD manufacturing in tech sector. Wish them good luck.

Yep, Walton will manufacture displays, circuit boards , usb drives from scratch.
BD government is doing the right thing by supporting Walton in imposing heavy tax on imported components.
Walton can grow it's revenues and technology by selling in BD before striking out into the export market.
 
Walton sure pioneering manufacturing BUT lone actor can not make broader change. There has not been other "like" initiative by other business houses.
