We always serve with a smile & honest intention & the fact that we have the history of retaining our clients, years after years, vouch for our strength.

ES. Could you please describe in detail some of the projects that your company recently completed following the pandemic? What were some of the challenges you faced in conducting and managing these projects?

Vipul Agarwal. Honestly speaking, projects were not many during this period. We however did quite a few events for Ministry of Minority Affairs apart from doing projects relating to retail. The main challenge we felt was the schedule of events was not organised due to the Pandemic. Same were getting finalised at a short notices depending upon the restrictions coming in place. In addition to this, even during the event running period or last few days of the set up, there was always an uncertainty of the same getting cancelled. In fact we faced significant loses due to many of our events getting re-scheduled or cancelled at a very late stage.

ES. What are some key services offered by Expro Events & Exhibits for Events, Exhibition and Warehousing?

Vipul Agarwal. Expro covers all verticals of the Exhibition Industry, right from providing Complete infra solutions for the event of any scale, PAN India to it’s management. We have off late entered into Retail with some interesting solutions.

ES. In light of the epidemiological situation in times to come being favourable, what upcoming projects do you plan for this year? How has your company adapting to the new normal?

Vipul Agarwal. We have quite a few events lined up coming March onwards.They are ranging from various events from our regular clients which were earlier re-scheduled to a few new interesting ones. We as a team now have done various internal meetings &deliberations as to how to adjust to the new normal & are fully geared up for up-coming events.

ES. In your view, what challenges have engulfed this sector, and what solutions would you suggest to overcome them?

Vipul Agarwal. Our sector, for reason best known to the decision makers, surprisingly was always the first to be banned & the last to be opened. Since most of our expenditure like salaries to the team, warehousing rentals etc are fixed, we have somehow being surviving on our capital which now is almost eroded. This I feel is across the board, may it be Service provider, Event Organisor or Venue owner, survival is the challenge. The only solution is, it’s high time Government & the decision makers understand our plight & events are allowed to happen henceforth.
