as a year where the ESDM industry will scale up in value addition and value
proposition.” “With the ongoing digital revolution in the country and the
thrust from the government to use technology to improve governance delivery to
the people, the requirement for developing new and better innovative products
and solutions are growing by the day,” said IESA Chairman K Krishna Moorthy.

number of opportunities to promote both product and solutions development and
manufacturing them in our country,” he said
