EXCON, an international construction equipment and construction technology trade fair, is a bi-annual event organised by the Confederation of India Industry (CII). EXCON 2015 was held during November 25-29, 2015 at Bengaluru. EXCON is the largest event for construction equipment in South Asia and this year's edition showcased more than 800 exhibitors.
Srei Equipment Finance had a prominent presence at the event with its 1,000 square feet stall, which was designed on the 'Smart City' theme.
Mr. Devendra Kumar Vyas,CEO,Srei Equipment Finance, says:"EXCON 2015 has exceeded our expectation. We were hopeful that this event would lift up the spirit of the infrastructure equipment sector, which has gone through a challenging phase in the last 2-3 years, and will be a growth catalyst for equipment demand in the near future.
For this edition of EXCON, we had tied up with more than 20 reputed global equipment manufacturers and came up with a lot of exciting schemes for our customers at the event. We are enthused with the response. We organised 'Smart Auctions' for our customers at the event, which included a unique auction of rentals where we leased out select equipment to our customers at monthly rentals which were decided by bidding. This innovative offering is probably the first in the industry."
"We had business enquiries for more than 2500 equipment during the event and we hope to surpass our expectation of Rs 500 crore worth of business with our manufacturer partners. Our 'Smart Auction' event also saw participation from more than 200 customers. In fact, seeing the enthusiastic response, we are making this a weekly event on an innovatively designed mobile application platform," he adds.
