The profusion of laundromats that has sprung up in recent years requires a strong operational backbone and technical prowess. Retail laundry leaders showcased success stories of how they are managing the franchisee model.

Manufacturing industries like pharma, automobiles and others need their workwear garments to be laundered and returned in no time. A fireside chat delved into how this can be made possible.
