"Due to the increasing response, we had to shift our showroom to a bigger location in order to provide better facilities to our clients," said Vinod Sequeira, Barkur, proprietor, Electrical Point, during the inaugural of the newly-built showroom at Bunts Hostel in the city on Saturday May 19.
The exclusive showroom for decorative lights and electrical accessories has shifted to the new location from Karangalpady Cross Road to Electrical Point Complex, Kadri Road, Near Bunts Hostel, to its own independent building due to the rise in demand and lack of space in the previous showroom.
