- Can you tell the story behind the inception of Group Think?
The idea for Group Think was born in 2015 out of a simple but powerful observation — that event registration in India, especially for large-scale exhibitions and conferences, lacked the smooth, tech-enabled experience that attendees and organizers deserved.
At the time, I was working closely with events and exhibitions and noticed how disorganized and outdated many registration processes were — long queues, manual data entry, and poor attendee experiences. I saw a clear gap and an opportunity to bring structure, speed, and a more professional approach to this critical first touchpoint of any event.
With a vision to bridge this gap, I started Group Think — with the goal of combining smart technology, operational excellence, and a customer-first approach to event registration. From our first event to now handling large-scale shows with thousands of attendees, our journey has been all about continuous improvement and building trust with our clients.
Over the years, we’ve introduced several firsts in the industry — from touchless registration and self-service kiosks to man less counters and facial recognition check-ins. Now, we’re integrating AI into our systems to further elevate the attendee experience through smarter, faster, and more intuitive solutions.
Today, Group Think is more than just a registration service provider — we’re a strategic partner in shaping seamless, tech-driven event experiences. Our commitment to innovation continues to evolve, ensuring we stay ahead of industry needs and client expectations
At Group Think, our mission has always been simple — to make the first impression of any event seamless, smart, and stress-free. We’re proud of the trust our clients place in us, and we’re excited to keep evolving with the future of events.
- Are there any upcoming projects that you would like to highlight?
Yes, we have a very exciting calendar ahead. One of the major highlights is Surat Dreams, where we’ll be managing over 20,000 registrations using facial recognition technology in Greater Noida — a milestone deployment for us in terms of scale and innovation.
We’re also proud to be part of Google I/O Connect, a prestigious event attended by some of the brightest minds in the developer community. It’s an honour to support such a cutting-edge platform with our streamlined registration and access solutions.
Another proud moment this year will be executing our 10th consecutive National Conference of Dermatology, organized by IADVL — attended by over 7,000 dermatologists from across the country. Being a part of this legacy event year after year is a testament to the trust our clients place in us.
Looking ahead, the coming year is shaping up to be even more promising, with several large-scale exhibitions and conferences already in the pipeline. We’re excited to continue pushing boundaries with our tech-led approach and deliver exceptional attendee experiences.
