SOTC Travel has expanded its business events portfolio with the launch of its dedicated Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) & Exhibitions Division
Building on its established expertise in MICE, the new business vertical is a strategic extension of SOTC’s offerings, enabling the company to deliver specialized end-to-end conference, association and exhibition management solutions.
India’s business events industry is witnessing robust growth, driven by significant investments in convention infrastructure, increasing participation from international associations, and the rapid expansion of knowledge-led sectors including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, technology, BFSI and manufacturing. Complementing this momentum are government initiatives such as Meet in India and the National Strategy for the MICE Industry, which are positioning India as a preferred global destination for conferences, conventions and exhibitions. SOTC’s dedicated PCO division has been created to address these evolving requirements through a fully integrated service offering backed by the company’s extensive MICE expertise and travel ecosystem.
The new division of SOTC Travel will offer a comprehensive suite of services, including end-to-end conference management, medical and scientific congress management, association conferences, delegate registration and attendee management, speaker and faculty management, abstract and poster management, sponsorship and exhibition management, venue sourcing, travel and accommodation, visa facilitation, event technology solutions, hybrid and virtual event management, and end-to-end on-ground operations. The division will serve as a single-window solution, delivering seamless, technology-driven, and world-class conference experiences for clients and participants alike.
The division will initially focus on key sectors including healthcare and medical sciences, pharmaceuticals, technology, BFSI, manufacturing, industry associations, education and research institutions and public-sector organizations. Priority markets include Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata.
S.D. Nandakumar, President & Country Head – Holidays and Corporate Tours, SOTC Travel, said, “Over the years, we have built a strong MICE business and established ourselves as a trusted partner for corporates across India. The launch of our PCO & Exhibitions division is a natural progression of that journey and reflects the evolving needs of our clients. As conferences become more strategic platforms for collaboration, innovation and knowledge exchange, there is a growing need for specialised expertise and integrated execution. With a dedicated team focused on conference and exhibition management, backed by SOTC’s extensive MICE and travel ecosystem, we are well-positioned to support associations, corporates, institutions and government organisations in delivering world-class events while creating long-term value for our stakeholders.
