The Association of System Integrators and Retailers in Technology (ASIRT) successfully conducted its Annual General Meeting (AGM) at Hotel Parle International, Mumbai, followed by its flagship TechDay #130. The day was marked by transparency in governance, a historic first-ever contested election, and insightful knowledge-sharing sessions for its members.
The AGM began with a strong turnout of members. The proceedings included:

- A collective review of the year’s activities, initiatives, and achievements by the ASIRT Board
The AGM reaffirmed ASIRT’s culture of accountability, community engagement, and collaborative growth.
First-Ever Contested Elections via Secure E-Ballot
Earlier in the day, ASIRT members participated in the association’s first-ever contested election, conducted through a secure e-ballot system that allowed every qualified member to cast their vote digitally.
Four candidates contested for three available Board positions:
- Gaurang Bhatt – Gaj Data Solutions LLP
- Hiren Kuvadia – Data Skill Systems
- Kartik Kaji – Ktronics
- Rohan Shah – Jet Refill World
At the AGM, Returning Officer Manish Harshad Kamdar announced the results. Hiren Kuvadia, Kartik Kaji, and Rohan Shah were declared elected, with Gaurang Bhatt narrowly missing out. This milestone election set a new benchmark for democratic participation and transparency within ASIRT.
