More than 200 Indian companies will take part in Gitex Global 2022, which is set to be world's biggest technology event.

India’s Electronics and Computer Software Export Promotion Council (ESC) has been facilitating the country’s participation in the mega expo for years to take advantage of the booming IT market in the Gulf.


Kamal Vachani, regional director for Middle East at ESC, said the technology exhibition will be leveraged to generate business for Indian IT companies from a multitude of large global corporations, which are executing projects in the region.

“Gitex is continuing to emerge as the largest and the most impressive ICT event of its kind in the Middle East. Naturally, India has a great stake in the booming Middle East, Africa, Asia and European markets for which Dubai is the gateway. Thus, the event provides the participating Indian ICT companies opportunities for scouting the expanding Middle East market” said Gurmeet Singh, executive director, ESC.


“This year at Gitex, over 200 Indian ICT companies are participating in various halls,” he said.
