Speaking on the announcement of the launch of World of Facilities 2017, Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director, UBM India said, "The Government's continued drive on infrastructure has spurred a growth momentum for the real estate and construction industries as a whole. This has further fuelled the growth of allied services. When it comes to allied services, facilities management takes the centerstage. As per recent research reports, the facility management market is slated to grow to US$56.67 Billion by 2021. With such a growing expanse, it makes perfect sense for us to put facilities management into the spotlight. Bringing the maiden edition of World of Facilities to the Indian subcontinent is just one of the many endeavours from UBM India to focus on the crucial importance of facilities management and to streamline business operations. I am sure this event will be able to bridge the needed knowledge gap and offer you many facets of facilities management that are waiting to be tapped upon.
