Gallagher Security has announced its key role in safely securing the world's largest commercial office building, the recently inaugurated Surat Diamond Bourse (SDB), in India.
The SDB, a prodigious 15-story complex sprawling across 35 acres and offering over 7.1 million square feet of floor space, has been dubbed a 'one-stop' destination for more than 65,000 diamond professionals worldwide. This record-breaking edifice comprises nine towers and encompasses facilities such as an independent customs office, international banking amenities, and diamond testing laboratories.
Gautham N.V., the Head of Sales and Marketing India at Gallagher outlined that the primary goal is to deliver a cohesive and integrated security solution that prioritises the well-being and convenience of both staff and visitors. This choice reflects a commitment to a comprehensive and seamless security experience that addresses the complex's key aspects of safety, security, and convenience.
