The country’s economy and the construction industry both have faced adversity following the COVID-19 enforced lockdown. This unprecedented scale of events had forced the industry to come to a halt forcing the migrant labour to return to their hometowns as private businesses had pessimistic views and reduced spending. The timing of the expo is in sync with the movements in the market especially in the current pandemic scenario where industries are looking forward to revival. According to a recent research report by GLEEDS, general sentiments in the market show the business to be slowly picking up, however, Q4 2020 shows a poor to moderate returns and sense of normalcy would be expected to return only in Q2 2021, provided the vaccine is found and distributed in India by year-end 2020.
With the Government’s mission of ATMANIRBHAR BHARAT and vision to increase MSMEs contribution to India’s GDP to over 50% from the current 29%, the event will also facilitate the MSME companies with special pricing at the MSME Pavilion and will allow meeting the policymakers & buyers. Apart from providing ease of doing online business, the expo will act as a catalyst for global networking with foreign manufactures.
Speaking at the virtual Press Meet of the unveiling of INFRACONEX 2021, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, Informa Markets in India said, “The Indian road infrastructure and highways construction industry, including the equipment and materials, are the biggest component in driving the economy and the second largest employer after agriculture. With the government’s projection of ₹111 trillion investments for 2020-25 to develop social and economic infrastructure to boost the economic growth, allied industries such as the construction equipment market will be augmented. InfraConex aims to create a business /experience for all the industry stakeholders such as construction equipment companies, distributors, policy makers, government, financial institutions, associations, organizations, forums, and alliances related to the construction equipment market. The expo will also help the MSME companies from the construction sector to connect with the financial institutions to better understand the government policies of funding MSME. This would be especially useful given that 30 % of equipment manufacturers in India comprise Gujarat based MSMEs. Special products zone will be created to display the innovative products manufactured by the MSMEs.”
“We are extremely proud to partner with KDCL for InfraConex that will support us with their worldwide networking, pre-emptive planning and execution. With a strong base in the western region, our collaboration with KDCL will raise the platform for the construction equipment sector. We look forward to a prolific partnership with them.” He further added.

It will provide a platform to showcase the path-breaking technologies, automation and solutions for the industry to ascend to the next level. It will help industry stakeholders explore the latest products and technologies and thereby help them in CAPEX related decision making. The expo will also host a knowledge forum by key influencers of the industry through conferences and seminars and will facilitate mind-stimulating discussion on challenges and way forward for the industry.

The irony of the Indian education system is that it first lets the students pursue their courses and become Doctors, Engineers, etc and later on decide what to do in life.

There were still more than 1 billion people in this world without access to electricity. I believe, it was during this time that I realized my mission towards contributing in solving these challenges,” his website reads.Committed to his mission, Singh founded Hartek India in 2013 and began manufacturing ‘Made in India’, Hartek-branded 11KV/33KV switchboard panels, LT panels and control relay panels for industries, commercial buildings and power plants.Meanwhile, he started exploring renewable energy sector as a sustainable infrastructure for the power needs of every household, which led to the birth of Hartek Solar in 2015. With its roof top solar plants solution, the company has marked its entry in the top 10 solar installers in India, having completed projects producing over 25 MW energy.“We recently launched plug and play solar kits for residential homes so that consumers can generate clean and sustainable power of their own,” Singh writes on his website.An alumnus of S.P.

Corona Killer Machine launched in Tricity, deactivates COVID 19 VIRUS .
The COVID-19 is profoundly affecting life around the globe. Isolation, contact restrictions and economic shutdown impose a complete change to the psychosocial environment in affected countries specially India. These measures have the potential to threaten the mental health of children and adolescents significantly. Another main threat is an increased risk for parental mental illness, domestic violence and child maltreatment.
“Since the information about COVID-19 was limited initially, many people around the country were anxious about being asymptomatic carriers leading to community spread of Covid19. Indotech Industrial Solutions (Pune) and Saisir Global Technologies Pvt Ltd (Zirakpur) realized they could address this issue by disinfecting process of everyday objects or carriers of Corona, like groceries, newspapers, money or the entire room itself. “We saw this as a big opportunity, primarily in terms of solving this critical problem and therefore devised this machine named as Corona Killer,” said Amit Duggal, COO, Saisir Global.
Corona Killer, indigenously developed machine, has been tested by Indian Institute of Medical Research (ICMR) and National institute of Virology (NIV). The machine has been manufactured in a Pune based facility by Indotech industries and marketed by Saisir Global Technologies Pvt Ltd, Zirakpur. Corona Killer is a savior for all Indians as it is presently one of the best way out to pause community transmission of Covid-19, as claimed by Duggal.
Ionization process is used to deactivate all kinds of bacteria and Virus (including Corona virus). ICMR and NIV have tested the efficacy of the machine and found the process effective in killing all sorts of viruses and bacteria. The certification was issued in July after studies conducted by the eminent scientists of ICMR for approximately two and half months. Even Pune based COVID hospital - Naidu Hospital has tested the same and has certified that this machine deactivates the viruses, hereby reduced the virus count by using ionization process upto an area of 100 -3000 square feet and also all objects that are present within this range. Moreover, it does not emit any harmful particles or Ozone which may harm health or atmosphere," said Duggal.
The machine completely sanitizes the marks, hand gloves, PPE kits, bed sheets and other items present in Covid wards. So far, the company was manufacturing 200 units of Corona Killer and the capacity has been increased to 700 units looking at the demand from various states across the country and abroad.
Saisir Global Technologies Pvt Ltd (Zirakpur, Phone: 7011388933, 9650512444) has been appointed as the sole distributor for Corona Killer machine for entire north India and for corporate. The company is inviting applications to appoint sub–distributors/dealers in the region of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh to increase the reach and sales of the product.
Team Saisir has already demonstrated the benefits of the machine to various officials of Haryana and Punjab governments in recent past and after learning about the product, Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as the health ministers of various states have sought a report on the machine to see how it can be deployed for combating Covid-19.
