The excitement and enthusiasm among exhibitors and visitors is growing as the days draw closer to Asia’s leading show on cleaning technologies – Clean India Technology Week 2017. Virtual Info Systems Pvt. Ltd, VIS Group, in continuation of its tradition to explore newer markets for the cleaning businesses, is set to open doors to an entirely new experience at Hitex Exhibition Center, Hyderabad. The city is a prominent junction connecting various parts of India and countries surrounding it. Strategically located in the fast-developing zone of India, the show is invariably attracting different sectors and clusters of industries concentrated in this area besides far off places, including Delhi, Rajasthan and other north east and west Indian States.
While there is an acceptable awareness and momentum towards maintaining cleanliness, the show takes on the role of a one-point sourcing place of products & solutions to keep the facilities and the area around, the city and the country clean. The word clean here has a wider connotation in relation to this show as it focuses on clean air, clean facilities, clean environment, clean clothes and clean vehicles.
Here’s a quick rundown of some exciting details:

Speaking of Pest Control, for the first time Clean India Show will have an exclusive Pest Pavilion to address the needs of the visitors. The Indian Pest Control Association has extended support to the show to ensure participation by the pest companies. They will also be joining the panel discussion in the Hospitality Connect session to provide solutions to the executive housekeepers and purchase heads of hotels.
One visible observation after speaking to hotels: it is found that there is no planned investment or attempt to control pest. It has always been a trial of new solutions rather than a study of the facility and understanding the remedial options to eradicate them.
Watch it Live!
It is for the first time, live demos are being scheduled during the shows. Visitors can watch the product application and get to know about it at close quarters. This has an added advantage of understanding first-hand the difference between products and also whether it is suitable for the facility it is being purchased for. There are almost five demos scheduled for each day at all the exhibitions running concurrently.
Making business happen
Besides the one-to-one meetings of exhibitors with visitors seeking specific solutions, this time on an exclusive Buyers’ Meet has been organised for the Hospitality segment.
This holds significance at a time when hotels are seeking products for the coming financial year. With the purchase heads joining the housekeepers, the Buyers’ Meet paves the way for business closures. The Indian Professional Housekeepers’ Association and the Hospitality Purchasing Managers’ Forum have extended support to the show and the Buyers’ Meet.
Partnering to Clean
As Prime Minister Modi has been repeatedly emphasizing that the country cannot be cleaned by one person alone, “we need the entire 1.25 billion people to take a step towards cleanliness’, the civic bodies too need the support of the cleaning industry. A special City Cleaning round table discussion has been scheduled during the show, where the Municipal Corporations, CSR heads and Cleaning Industry experts will sit across the table to come up with a successful partnership model to clean the city. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and the Andhra Pradesh & Telangana Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry have extended support to the show. The entire delegation from the corporations from across States and the members of APTFCCI will be visiting the shows.
Learn from the teachers
Experts in the facility services segment will conduct a highly interactive Workshop to educate and hone business skills at a special session. Facility Services companies have been looking for such training sessions to ensure smooth business operations and contract management. Both big and small facility service providers have registered to attend this session. Eureka Forbes has extended support to the Workshop and the Industrial Cleaning sessions.
Solve your problems
Following the successful LaundrexNet in Mumbai at the last show, this time again the highly interactive knowledge sharing session organised during the show for the laundry and dry cleaning segment is going to be exciting. The information gathered from over 150 service providers on their issues and requirement, the LaundrexNet session has weaved in subjects and experts to address them.
While, retails and commercial laundries have registered excessively, keeping in mind the language barrier of many, the experts have agreed to break into Hindi for better understanding. Buzil Rossari has partnered for the LaundrexNet session.
A major highlight of Laundrex India is the launch of the first national association for the industry – Laundry & Dry Cleaners Association. Quick Clean has partnered for the Laundrex India Expo.
