Short-term we are already there in the local market, mid-term we are growing with our imports, so we are more into a collaboration strategy. When we say collaboration strategy, we are open to all different countries where other country players can import and expand our product basket. Such a kind of strategy actually will help us in long-term strategies.
This is a male dominating sector so being a woman how do you feel about this sector? Could you put some highlights over there?
I do not have any bias between a man and a woman. Said that the mechanical engineering and manufacturing industry has always been dominated by men. Just because women are not very comfortable working on the shop floors. But today I think men and women play equal roles and there’s no bias about it.
What’s your biggest takeaway from IMTEX 2023?
There are multiple takeaways from IMTEX 2023. You get an opportunity to explore the global World. 99 countries are participating in IMTEX. Accusharp has got very good exposure being with IMTEX.
