Vast potential: 20% growth per year

Currently there is a good climate for business growth in India, including an estimated 20% growth per year for the professional laundry and dry cleaning industry (Nielsen study). Suppliers active in India endorse the positive development, the major challenge is to get the industry organized and professionalized so the appreciation of customers is secured. The World of PTC Business School India offers an initiative that aims to support the industry in this development by providing an easy-to-access information flow on best practices in PTC. During the meeting with suppliers the representatives expressed their intent to use the business school as a joint platform.
