How many people attended your live event?

We started our event on 1st of August and was live till August 20th. We have done scheduled demos where we spend quality time with our prospects making them understand the equipment well. Rather than bringing a huge crowd, it’s a more focused and exclusive demo session, where clients can spend quality time with the equipment, identifying and understanding the advantages, and the whole concept of the solution.

We have successfully completed 30+ exclusive VIP demo sessions in our demo centre, and around 20 virtual demos for our clients who were not able to be here physically due to travel restrictions.

Live demo sessions were conducted based on prior appointments only, by a fully vaccinated team, strictly adhering to comprehensive COVID protection norms.
