Virtual fairs continue to bridge the gap between online and offline. At the maiden virtual edition and the fifth edition of Automechanika, organisers Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) together with Messe Frankfurt India, in the software-driven forum made this abundantly clear. The summit, on a two-day tight schedule, ran in clockwise precision for the most part and deserves credit for concluding a successful edition. The interactive nature and abundant product demos made it all the more engaging taking it a step closer to the physical expos, a defacto phenomenon of the pre-covid era. Aimed at imparting special insights on imminent opportunities and challenges in the Indian auto aftermarket segment, it also made way for new product launches and demonstrations.
Nearly 2,407 stakeholders of the industry were in attendance courtesy of the Business to Business (B2B) matchmaking platform. Apart from domestic attendees, the platform also succeeded at drawing participation from 49 countries including Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Japan, Germany, UAE, UK, USA, Saudi Arabia, Sweden and Russia. A total of 81 exhibitors supported the summit and fair with over 1200 components queued up for an on-demand experience. Schaeffler India, eBay, ITW, Ajit Industries, Benara Udyog, Elofic, Steel Impex, KK Lighting, Industrias Del Recambio, Farad Italy, Indo-MIM Pvt.Ltd., and Esteem Auto Pvt. Ltd. were among the leading exhibitors.
