The tides are turning with Indian manufacturers now exporting their products across countries.

With the auxiliary industry catching up to the cleaning product manufacturers demands, soon the country will witness exports soaring towards meeting the country’s vision.
From municipal officials to circular economy consultants, corporate real estate heads to small service providers, laundry franchise owners to proprietors of individual laundromats – everyone found something noteworthy and implementable at the Show and during the knowledge-sharing sessions.
