Being a successful leader in the AV sector, please share your views on the current business scenario in the sector across India.
AllWave-AV Systems feels the industry is completely very fragmented, several verticals will be impacted by the current covid situation as well as after we emerged from the vaccination drives. Sectors such as government, education, as well as MSME will be impacted positively from a system integrator perspective. As the pandemic has shown the important need for communication and collaboration and having good infrastructure.

Our team gel well together, we have been together for many years. Some of the team members since inspection we have had a unique “can-do culture”, we take our responsibility very seriously. We are also very agile to understand the evolving needs of the customer.
