Thursday, February 20, 2014: Electronics for You Expo (EFY Expo) is the only electronics event that covers the entire ecosystem of the electronics industry, as it focuses on the electronics value chain, including components, parts, materials, manufacturing services and equipment.
Every year, the Expo highlights the strengths of the domestic electronics market along with providing the global electronics industry with a stable Indian platform to showcase their products and services. The needs of foreign companies wishing to do business in India and to set up shop here could be met by this annual Expo.
EFY Expo 2014, therefore, takes one step ahead as the catalyst for the growth of the Indian electronics industry. The buyer-seller meet organised at EFY Expo 2013 was highly appreciated by the exhibitors as well as the buyers who came to the Expo with different aims and targets. Some of the big buyers include:
Anchor Panasonic
Bharat Electronics Ltd
C-DOT
Digital Circuits
Emerson Network Power
Fiem Industries
HCL
Intex Technologies
Jabil Circuit
Kaynes
Keltron
Magneto Mareeli
Moser Baer
NTL Electronics

Samsung Asia
SGS Tekniks
Sonodyne
Su-Kam
Videocon
According to Shailesh Mishra, head, technical regulations, Panasonic, “The concept of the buyer-seller meetings is good. We came to the EFY Expo 2013 with an open mind, with no one particular vendor as our focus. We got 4-5 good alternatives and we are in touch with those vendors for business opportunities to materialise. Something that I really liked about the show was the choice of vendors. Some of the vendors were RoHS certified, which increases the trust value of the deal. We can comfortably bank on such vendors. This is a clear difference between the EFY Expo and the other electronics shows.”
Avinash Deshmukh, senior manager, imports, Videocon, said, “We were looking for the raw materials for our products at EFY Expo 2013. We leveraged EFY Expo to find some good alternatives to our existing vendors. With the new alternatives in hand, we are sure we will be able to strike better deals henceforth.”
This year’s show, being organised at Pragati Maidan from 20-22 February, is even bigger and better. If you are looking for real business opportunities, this show is a must-attend event.
