It is looking to collaborate with various State governments, notably Bihar, Meghalaya, Nagaland, and others to improve healthcare infrastructure in that State. It is also eyeing expanding in Africa after piloting its solution with Habitat for Humanity.

Overall, the conversation highlighted their journey from inception to their current significant order from the Bihar government, emphasizing the company's focus on rapid, portable, and reusable micro-construction solutions, especially in the healthcare sector.
