“We never came across a cleaning show of this magnitude in India. These days people have become cleanliness conscious and we came looking for economic solutions for sanitizing, disinfection and products like tissues and dispensers. We were taken aback with the large variety and brands that were on display at the Show. Even though we are maintaining the clubhouse of the golf course with modern cleaning solutions, at CIP we got exposed to the latest trends in the market. It has broadened our knowledge base on cleaning tools and equipment. We are looking forward to visit the next Clean India Show,” said Madhu Mohan Singh, General Manager (Secretary), Bombay Presidency Golf Course.
“This is the right place and I look forward to see diversified product range in the laundry sector too. The seminar on IFM was interesting. With global meltdown, every company is now looking at optimization of their portfolios,” said Joseph Reddy, GM-Admin, Hiranandani Group.
“This is the first time we have participated in the Clean India Pulire show. Overall the show is very well-organised and we met with quality visitors from the service contractors and facility management end. The Show is an excellent networking platform for us. The intention of participating in the show was to create awareness, attract key accounts across India and showcase our product portfolio. We were able to create a benchmark and are getting enquiries for our product range from visitors. We are looking forward to take up a bigger stall next year,” said Varun Wadhi, Director, Inovic Floor Systems Pvt Ltd, on a positive note.
“We are extremely happy with the support we got from the CIP team. The layout was good and we got a good exposure by participating in the Show. We have got enquiries from diverse sectors like corporate, hospitality, food processing units and healthcare sectors. This is the first time we have participated in CIP and have been able to build on our brand which has got a good recognition at the show,” said Mohan Advani, MD, Bluestream Manufacturing Services Pvt Ltd.
“This is the third year we are visiting the show. This time we are planning to implement road sweeping and have seen road sweepers that can do multiple tasks like sweeping, waste collection and can also be used as fork-lift. It is a very interesting and informative show,” said AN Hariharan, Head Security &Admin, Cipla Ltd.
“It is definitely a decent start for a first-timer like us to participate in this Show. We are now working on converting the various enquiries we have received at the Show. It is a well-organised show,” said Jigar Shah, Propreitor, Revachem.
“Thanks to CIP, we have already appointed few dealers outside Kerala. Our products are mainly mops and towels in the economy range. CIP gives us an added advantage to reach out to visitors/dealers/customers outside Kerala. We have been catering to housekeeping service providers. In fact, instead of having a three-day cleaning show, the organizers should make it a four-day one in the next edition. We look forward to participating in many more such successful 
shows in the future,” said an enthusiastic Shafeer Moidunni, Managing Director, Klean Sys.
“In fact, the Clean India Show is much better than many of the cleaning shows held internationally,” asserted Maurice McDonagh, Director, Handle Hygiene Ltd, Ireland.
Thomas Boeck, Area Sales Manager, Hagleitner Hygiene International GmbH, “We have a good business in India and a good partner in Intercare India, New Delhi. We deal in hygiene chemicals and dispensing systems for washroom, kitchen hygiene and laundry. We are here to get our own information on the Indian market and feedback from customers & visitors especially from the hospitality industry, food/catering and kitchens. India has a great potential for us. From the previous year, we find there is much demand for good quality products. We have more than 300 leads in these three days and we did not expect such a response which we have not seen even in shows internationally.”
Apart from looking at expanding business opportunities, the exhibition provided a good opportunity to gauge the pulse of the market. Prabhakar Paul, Director, Alpha Moscon Technologies Pvt Ltd, who had planned to do a survey of his product, has shelved the idea after participating at the Show. “More than commercial aspect, we have been able to effectively gather user feedback on our product. As many as 60-70 visitors, including doctors, used our products and came back with their feedback the next day. This has been a tremendous opportunity for us to understand the market and with such first-hand feedback I don’t need to do a survey anymore.”
