Harry Ehrenberg, President, VARGUS Ltd.:
How do you look at the business’s potential growth in the Indian market?
VARGUS has already been 25 years active in the Indian market. We focused on the Indian market and we have enjoyed seeing the growth of the Indian market but today I think this is an entirely different India. It has become one of the most important markets in the world and we believe in the growth of the future growth we see the infrastructure and projects that you have, we see the investment in equipment machines, education, and people and yes, we believe and for us, India will be a very important market for the future.

Avi Cohen, CEO, VARGUS Ltd.:
World Bank Report suggests that India is better positioned to navigate Global headwinds than other major emerging economies. Do you agree?
I also read this World Bank assessment, I’m aware of this microeconomic situation. I think I mostly agree. India itself has a very large domestic market, a local market, and therefore less exposed to exports than other countries. And we saw India demonstrated during the Covid period when the recovery from this period was relatively fast.
Over the last few years, India has been able to improve its ranking with the ease of doing business index. Has the situation improved on the ground?
Yes, very much. Although there is much still room for improvement. I must say that India made a very big step in the last few years for example introducing the GST Tax System, which helped a lot of importers like Vargus India. Some digitalization processes in terms of reporting to the government, and infrastructure are very nice. We see the new roads, the new airports, we definite improvement and we like it.
How would you like to strengthen the market in India?
We will continue to position ourselves stronger and stronger by adding more experienced people, professional people, and technical support to the market and new products.
