In the run up to IFSEC India 2015, the 8-city roadshow, India Security Yatra, has kicked-off to reach out to security professionals, solution providers and system integrators spread across the country’s length and breadth. Starting from Bengaluru, the response of participants representing the security industry has been rather upbeat after the recent development where Home Minister Rajnath Singh has proposed clubbing the Smart Cities and Safe Cities projects together. The underlying purpose for carrying out roadshows in 8 cities of Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Pune, Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi is to give security professionals hailing from a specific region a better chance to tune in to the recent developments, and showcase their latest innovations to targeted audiences based in their respective region. Presenting Partners for the India Security Yatra are Com-Sur, Hikvision, Lookman, and Matrix Comsec. Mindtree on the other hand has joined India Security Yatra as an Associate Partner.
