Q. When did you start your journey in Exhibition Industry. What challenges you encountered on your way to become world class event service provider company & how did you overcome them ?
A. N.K Kapur & Co. Pvt. Ltd. was formed in the year 1950 by Mr N.K Kapur as a civil construction company. In the year 1952 it ventured into the exhibition field when the first exhibition was held in India. Since then the legacy has been going on. Over a period of time the company kept growing steadily. So much so that by the year 1972 it reached its zenith and was catering to all international clients. It built 14 large country pavilions and 4 larger international company’s pavilions in ASIA 72 exhibition. With the successful implementation of these projects the company gained in stature and came to be regarded as a reliable and trustworthy partner by all international clients. With the advent of the next generation into the business in 1976 new ideas were born. For the first time in the exhibition industry N.K Kapur & Co. Pvt. Ltd. introduced the Aluminum modular stalls in the year 1983. This was a game changer as till date stalls were only constructed in wood which was very time consuming and expensive. With introduction of modular stalls it benefited everybody, right from the organisers to exhibitors, as now one required very less time for set up and dismantling which saved costs in rentals and other expenses.With this innovation there was no looking back and we scaled new heights both in terms of revenue and reputation. The next leap for the company came in 1994 when we introduced Air Conditioned outdoor hangar structures for exhibitions and events. With this we could now hold exhibitions anywhere in the country, even where there were no halls. with all these innovations N.K Kapur has always been in the forefront and a pioneer in the Indian exhibition industry. The secret of our success has been that we never say no and have a solution for anything and everything that may be required to put up a successful show. We have clients who have trusted us for more than 3 decades and are still working with us till date.
Q. What is the role of Structures in Exhibitions & Events ?
A. Structures play a very important role in exhibitions and events, especially in smaller towns and cities where there are no permanent facilities available for holding these events. They provide a further outreach even in remote areas to reach out to the masses to promote your products and message thus giving leverage to your business. Earlier this facility was not available and we had to make do with tent structures. With the advent of time new technologies evolved and new structures were developed and introduced into the industry, which further bolstered the spirit of the event organisers to venture out into smaller cities by putting up their exhibitions/ events under these structures. Today India can boast of having international quality structures to cater to the industry. Be it exhibitions, events, political rallies and social functions, they are all opting for the new aluminum structures which are safer than any other structures out there.
