Hello,
I’m planning to launch a venture in rooftop solar and would like to attend the discussion and, perhaps, share my comparative perspectives based the industry in California, USA.

Good day
do you have any plan to conduct these meets in Coimbatore?
If so please let us know.
Thank you
Dear Sir. We would like to do this first in Chennai and evaluate the results from this. Based on the results, if we feel that conducting it in a few more cities could make the inputs and insights more representative of the industry, we will certainly do it in a few more cities, possibly including Coimbatore
Thanks for your interest, and for asking
