“There are growing concerns about using central Air-Conditioning systems in offices and commercial spaces, owing to suspicions that the virus is transmitted through AC vents, said Pradeep Bakshi, Managing Director & CEO, Voltas, “As the Indian economy recovers from the shock of COVID-19 and people resume work in the ‘new normal’, it is essential for organizations to give utmost priority to the health and safety of personnel and their families. Our UV-powered offerings for Duct, Air and Surface disinfectants complement the immediate and long-term need for safety in shared spaces like malls, waiting rooms and offices.”
