Praveen Thampi was of the view that Indian lighting industry has progressed leaps and bounds and is in many ways ahead of European counterparts. One of the main reasons according to him was the IT and ITeS industries that needed efficient and sustainable lighting systems for employee productivity and comfort during working shifts.
