This was disrupted by the rapid tech adoption that organisations globally were driven to in a bid to keep their operations running. Yantralive is a digital platform that uses tech as an enabler to provide the right equipment and spare parts to its customers.

The article further explores Yantralive鈥檚 unique solutions with co-founders Vikram Joshi and Ajay Anand.
