We met Rinku Suri, dressed in a beautiful beige Indian sari who told us she was there to promote Smart Cards Expo www.smartcardexpo.co in India which will be held on October 18 -19,2016,
She told us “SmartCards Expo was launched in 1999 by Electronics Today, India’s first Techno-Economic Electronics Monthly Journal and the Pioneer in organizing Electronics/Information Technology exhibitions in India since 1969.
India has seen a promising growth in all these technology applications during the past few years. Smart card applications, in conjunction with mobile communications, biometrics, RFID and Payments technologies, are being implemented by the Central and State governments for several socioeconomic projects worth trillion of rupees.”
