We started this association with Shyam Modi and J P Modi and now with a team of 1500 members, taking this association to new heights. ADCTA continues to strive hard to strengthen the district associations that already do exist and help start associations in districts where they are not there, through clear message that the IT Trade in the state can resolve the pending issues that hinder its growth and drive lots of beneficial initiatives only by being united.

“From many years, computer and computer peripheral traders/dealers are suffering fraud cases of cheque bouncing, delaying in payment etc. In the interest of the traders at large, ADCTA have decided to come up with this solution,” said Aggarwal. “FraudsAlert.com is a website dedicated to fight against such cases of frauds and to warn all its members’ constituents of any party, who have indulged in any such fraudulent activity, with any member constituent of ADCTA. To protect the interests of all constituent computer dealers against such fraudulent companies, we have decided to post and highlight the names of all such fraud parties/companies on this website, with the advisory to all computer dealers—not to deal with the companies/parties listed on this website,” informed Aggarwal.

ADCTA is regularly monitoring the database and taking all necessary action against such fraud companies led by opinion of their legal advisory board. The association also stands for contribution to the society and is regularly involved in conducting activities for good cause. ADCTA is very active in organizing events and activities for its members as well as for the society. The clean India campaign “Swachh Bharat Abhiyan” has been followed by the association. ADCTA team kicked off a sanitation drive at Nehru Place, IT Hub of Delhi.

ADCTA organizes blood camps and health check-up camps on a regular basis. To serve the humanity with love, the association has also started a NGO for underprivileged children. “ADCTA is strictly against child labor and the association is looking into this serious issue. No child below 14 years of age will be employed in our operations,” Aggarwal added.  Recently, the association advised its dealers/distributors/suppliers to stop supplying goods to online companies across India if they sell any product below the price at which they have originally purchased it. “We are channel partners. Almost all sales in retail market happens through us. We are aware of landing price of product at customs. ADCTA has written to government agencies to investigate in the matter,” said Aggarwal.
