AI, IoT & automation are the future for CE industry
V. Senthilkumar, Managing Director,Propel Industries.

Excon is returning after a gap of more than two years. How is the company looking at leveraging this opportunity for business growth?
Propel has participated in every Excon right from its commencement. We have always had excellent customer response and the number of visitors to our stall has seen huge jumps in every edition. We get immediate customer interest and bookings follow in an impressive number of cases. We have also benefited from visiting other stalls; we get new ideas and get to see the latest technology available on the market. Expos such as Excon help drive customer demand, opening up new markets, creating healthy competition and generally infusing excitement and optimism about the market and the future.

Excon is the first major exhibition after the pandemic and we have great plans for this edition – launching new products, showcasing our upgrades and demonstrating our innovative ideas. We are looking forward to the opportunity to interact with our customers and get their feedback.

How is the government’s focus on NIP and Gati Shakti giving a boost to the equipment industry? Which sectors are driving growth for the company’s offerings?
Excon has been the preferred choice for Propel to launch its new products and showcase upgrades. We get immediate customer interest and bookings follow in an impressive number of cases.

Tell us about the company’s focus on digitisation.
AI, IoT and automation are definitely the future for the industry. Propel has committed major time and investment in studying how to effectively use these new technologies to benefit our customers. The exceptional pavilion on these technologies that CII is hosting this year will be a chance to share experiences, gain insights and collaborate with other companies.
