The Indian Technology Consumer has both the knowledge and the appetite for Tech events on a grand scale and is very hungry to be shown what devices and gadgets can do for him. Showcasing of current and future products must happen in India now and this event is a great start to that dream of mine. I truly wish that this initiative becomes bigger and better every year till it can rival and even surpass the CES's and IFA's of the World. This is an idea whose time has come" says Rajiv Makhni, recently awarded The Television Anchor of the year by the Indian Television Academy.

We invite all such startups and SMEs to exhibit their revolutionary products and get a chance to connect with their target audience and other businesses " says KV Nagendra Prasad, COO, HITEX.
