What is UPGEAR Insights?
+
A free weekly magazine for Indian pest control owners. It reports what changed this week in pesticide bans and registrations, FSSAI rules, GST, fumigation and export rules, government tenders, events and seasonal demand, and what a PCO should do about it.
How often is it updated?
+
The desk updates the page as soon as an official change is confirmed. A new issue goes out every Monday at 9 AM on WhatsApp.
Where does the information come from?
+
Only from primary sources: the Gazette, CIB&RC, FSSAI, the GST Council, plant quarantine, official tender portals and the event organisers themselves. Every item links to the document it is based on.
Is this legal advice?
+
No. Insights explains what a change means for day-to-day pest control work. Read the official document, or ask your consultant, before you act.
How do I get the issue on WhatsApp?
+
Tap "Send me every issue" and send the pre-filled message. You will get one message every Monday. Reply STOP any time.
Can I list my pest control event or webinar?
+
Yes. Send the event name, dates, city, venue and the official link on WhatsApp. The desk checks it with the organiser before listing it.
