Online crane rental platform MYCRANE unveiled its wholly-owned operations in India on the opening day of the Conex construction tradeshow in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

Patil, bring extensive industry experience from their roles at Reliance Industries Ltd and other prominent organisations in India.

The move into India positions MYCRANE to serve the country's growing construction and infrastructure needs, aligning with its digital-driven approach to crane rentals.
