This workshop was about investment policies regarding warehousing and logistics industry.

“today capital cost of warehouse is very high depending on the location in which it is located, this workshop is for providing guidelines to the visitors and the trade buyers about investment policies in the warehousing and logistics sector. We are here to address you about where to spend or where to not, for ex: agri-logistics is not a superb area to invest as it has lower margins”.
