About Us

The year 2020 will be remembered for the detrimental effect of COVID 19 pandemic in the history of mankind. With supply chains broken or severely disrupted, companies (big or small) had to reset their growth plans and adopt digital technologies to ensure business continuity. Despite the challenges, some organisations were able to tide over the crisis because of their agility that helped them recalibrate strategies to respond to the unexpected circumstances.

Like these companies, Industrial Products Finder (IPF) - India’s largest circulated industrial magazine - also aced out its competitors as IPF stood firmly with the business fraternity during this critical time and raised pertinent issues with the decision makers throughout the year via its digital platform (www.ipfonline.com) and print.

As the organisations prepare for the new normal, Industrial Products Finder (IPF) will host

“IPF Industrial Excellence Forum 2021” will be held on January 15, 2021 consisting of:

  • IPF Industrial Excellence Awards 2021
  • IPF Industrial Sectoral e-Conferences
