Your focus in ELECRAMA 2020
After the appreciable response from ELECRAMA 2018, this year we are focusing on enhancing our public relations with customers and stakeholders. The year 2018 helped us create valuable leads and a greater customer footprint. Being a part of this exhibition, we hope to leave an impressionable experience for you.

Our entire low voltage range of switchgears and automation would be displayed from all our partners, through which we intend to showcase our one-stop solution approach that makes business easier and reliable for all our customers. Also, this year we are celebrating our 30th year and hence, we perceive to show our organisational journey as well.

Rise of IoT and Industry 4.0 in transforming the sector
The rise of IoT and Industry 4.0 is beginning to play a crucial role in the lives of manufacturers, SCMs, and other technology-driven industries. It is tremendously helping these segments in flexible and accurate working, which in turn is ensuring huge benefits, if used wisely. The existing manual plants are now transforming into smart plants. However, the only downside is that this technology demands qualified users who have optimum knowledge to access plant data, which is not easy to find in countries like India. This stands as a big challenge for the group owners. But in the future to come, this has to be adopted so as to run along the speed of economy.

Opportunities for smart electricity in India
While entering 2020, India still stands in the category of developing nations where blackouts and improper power distribution is very common. Whenever in the future of India our power grids adopt the practise of smart electricity, the generation and consumption of power would be monitored in a systematic manner. The very common problem of electricity theft would be rectified. This will not only help at the consumer’s end, but also support our government to build an optimum Budget and save many parts of India from blackouts.

Latest innovations and additions in your range of solutions
About the latest most in-demand innovations, we should talk about the MTZ Range of ACB by Schneider Electric. For every consumer switching to IoT, this product is a must to ensure optimum power distribution. This will help one witness how they can monitor and collect data in each and every feeder and utilise it to generate maximum output. Also, at ELECRAMA 2020, our EcoStruxure zone will help one witness all the integrities of connected products under one roof.

Plans and projections for the next two years?
The power and energy sector would be growing at a much faster pace in the coming years, with a lot of infra projects and smart cities coming up. There won’t be any scarcity of business potential for any one. We wish to utilise the same to the best of our ability and multiply our business with this fast-paced economy. We wish to expand our footprint in untapped areas and grow at a CAGR of over 20 percent, contributing to the society.
