Soumyodeep Das said, “VBRIDGE  will focus more on research and development in each and every assignment in future, be it advanced technology in construction or community development projects. The core idea of VBRIDGE has always been ‘believing in youth’ and we will follow the same line in future with mentors from the industry,  and thrive for unique ideas and implementation. Investments in scaling up the business as well as creating a conglomerate where design enthusiasts from all over the world can join hands will continue to grow. We also wish to connect with more B2B and B2G clients in times to come, maintaining our timeline and quality of work alongside.’’
