Prawaas 3.0

What Prawaas 3.0 does

Prawaas 3.0 is India's flagship multimodal transport trade show, organized by the Bus and Car Operators Confederation of India (BOCI) with MM Activ Sci-Tech Communications Private Limited serving as event curator and secretariat. The event — with its fifth edition (Prawaas 5.0) scheduled for 9-11 July 2026 at the Helipad Exhibition Centre in Gandhinagar, Gujarat — aggregates government transport authorities, bus and car operators, automotive OEMs, mobility startups, financiers, insurers, and civil society under the theme 'Towards Safe, Smart & Sustainable Public Transport.' The program spans a Global Exhibition, International Conference, Bharat Prawaas Awards, BOCI Dialogue, Startup Pitches, B2B Partnering, Workshops, and a Networking Dinner, with curtain raiser events conducted across a dozen Indian cities in the run-up to each main edition.

The offering is fundamentally an event platform rather than a technology product: there is no proprietary software, API, or AI component, and the underlying stack consists of an event website (prawaas.com), online registration portals for delegates/exhibitors/visitors, email communications, and a network of regional coordinators. Monetization is transactional and event-cyclical, derived from three revenue streams: delegate registration fees, exhibition space rental (with 50% advance and first-come-first-served allotment), and a multi-tier sponsorship structure spanning Principal Partner (TATA Motors), Awards Partner (redBus), Conference Co-Host (Abhibus), BOCI Day Partners (Volvo, Eicher), Gold Partners (MG Group, JTAC, Zylog), Silver Partners, and a long tail of 'Supported By' partners including ZF Group, JBM Group, PMI Electro Mobility, JSW Greentech, Drivn, KRN, Synaty Auto, Bitla Soft, ThinkGas, Vertelo, and Sutlej Automotive.

Prawaas is structured as a collaborative, non-listed initiative rather than a venture-backed enterprise — no funding rounds, parent company, or M&A activity are disclosed, and the operating entity is MM Activ Sci-Tech Communications Private Limited (Pune-based) with BOCI (New Delhi) as the industry anchor. Customers are predominantly enterprise buyers on the sponsor side (Indian automotive OEMs, large fleet operators, mobility platforms) and government bodies on the delegate side, with executive-level participation from Union and State-level dignitaries lending political and policy legitimacy to each edition.
