2. How do tradeshows like BLECH INDIA help in enabling the industry growth?

Trade shows are generally targeted at an industry and people involved or interested in that industry. BLECH India 2021 is a highly focused exhibition exclusively dedicated to Sheet Metal Working. So, Exhibiting at Blech-India 2021 can be a great way to advertise to a target market and create brand awareness among our existing & prospecting customers & Business partners. Generally Exhibitions are open to a large and sometimes diverse range of audiences, which provides a common platform to promote us our product or service to a broader group that may have little or no knowledge of our products, services and new developments. Being participant in a trade show or exhibition provides the business opportunities and learning opportunity, which inspire to innovate and improvise our products and services.

3. How do you plan to go forward in the post-corona world?

Post Corona World is going to be more challenging, but certainly bringing more opportunities of development and learning for individuals and businesses. Already we have learned the real power of words “Digital” and “Make in India”. Virtual meetings, Virtual Inspections replacing the conventional way of F2F meetings and in person Inspections, are saving the precious time of all.  Despite movement restrictions, we are committed to support our business partners and reaching out to them through web meetings and Isgec REACH4.0 (Remote Enabled Access & cloud Hub) to provide the intelligent & efficient solutions/services.
