With developing ecosystem around Distribution Franchisee model (50+ RFPs/EOIs, 22+ start/in-operations in last 2 years), and push for further new roll-outs in light of re-structuring of Discoms, there is need for a careful discussion on scaling-up of right model going forward. It is with this objective that pManifold has organised 'India Utility Knowledge and Networking (IUKAN - www.iukan.in) conference on 12th Feb, Hotel Le Meridien, Delhi'.

We assure this is no Generic conference, and is super value-pack with top 30+ Speakers, and 200+ all stakeholders. Best is in addition to Power Distribution, you will learn about equally fast emerging Water PPP models, and further diversify your company's Utility portfolio, more so as same Tier-2 and 3 towns are undergoing both PPPs. (by estimates, India has touched less than 1% market share of PPPs in utilities).
Consider investing in this high quality cross-learning by attending this conference yourself, and also nominating colleagues from your organisation - Corporate Strategy, Bid Team, BU Head, Operations Head, Customer Head, Finance Head, Contracts & Procurement Head.
- First of its kind conference - you can interact, write to and speak to the Speakers prior to the conference. Infact our Speakers would love this, to get better grounded with DF challenges. (You can write to me your views, and I can appropriately connect you with our Speakers. Time being short, request you make use of this week and weekend for doing this on priority. This way, you can be assured that your views and observations will find importance at the conference.)
- ZEE News shall be covering the conference, and has interest to speak to Utility veterans. Let know your interest on the same, as it could be good opportunity to rightly position your company's unique efforts to operationalise the DF model.
I am sure that you and your organisation will stand united and co-own this Industry effort to start re-constructing sustainability in our Utilities, and further improve end-services delivery to customers.
I and you can (I-U-KAN)!
