LOS ANGELES, March 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire -- IBN, a multifaceted communications organization engaged in connecting public companies to the investment community, is pleased to announce the release of the latest episode of The Bell2Bell Podcast as part of its sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels.
The Bell2Bell Podcast delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in fast-moving industries. Bell2Bell’s latest podcast features Suchit Punnose, Founder & CEO of Modulex Modular Buildings Plc, a leading ConstrucTech company harnessing emerging technologies like AI, blockchain and IoT to efficiently meet burgeoning housing and infrastructure needs. PHP Ventures Acquisitions Corp. (Nasdaq: PPHPU) (Nasdaq: PPHP) (Nasdaq: PPHPR) (Nasdaq: PPHPW), a special purpose acquisition company, entered into a definitive business combination agreement pursuant to which it would merge with and into Modulex Modular Buildings Plc, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 0729166 (the "Target"), and Modulex Merger Sub, Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target ("Merger Sub”). Upon the closing of the business combination, which is expected in the second quarter of 2023, the combined company expects to remain listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “MDLX.”
Throughout the interview, Punnose discussed Modulex and how it is addressing the various issues facing the traditional construction industry.
“Modulex is about delivering real estate version 2.0. To us, real estate version 2.0 is carbon-net-zero-certified buildings which are manufactured, not constructed. They are designed using AI with blockchain-based quality assurance and IoT-enabled smart features,” Punnose said. “All of those features encompass to us what future real estate version 2.0 stands for. It’s very topical for us to appreciate that; globally, there is a significant overhang in terms of demand for affordable housing, health care, student accommodation and various other real estate asset classes which are required in both developed economies and the global markets of the future.
“In terms of the genesis of Modulex, we looked at the problems in the construction industry. Without construction, mankind can’t progress. We need infrastructure and everything from homes and hotels to schools. The key issues that we have in the traditional construction space are related to time and cost overruns, poor quality and its large carbon footprint. The solution to delivering the vast amount of buildings required for mankind to progress in terms of infrastructure, wellbeing and lifestyle is a pivot into modular buildings. Modular buildings are delivered with high speed and high quality on a fixed cost and time guarantee, and, with the relevant carbon-net-zero certification, they address the need of the hour.”
Punnose then provided some insight into Modulex’s MegaFactory™, which is currently under construction roughly 175 miles from Mumbai, India.
“The MegaFactory is a high-capacity manufacturing facility. We’ve developed a design for a factory on a 40-acre site with plans to initially develop about half of that land into a manufacturing cluster consisting of about three sheds with a covered space of roughly 350,000 square feet, including a main assembly line fed by an ancillary shed producing bathroom pods and steel structures, as well as a timber factory producing anything timber that goes inside the buildings. We have the ability within that 40 acres to add three more main assembly lines whereby we can start with an initial production capacity of 3 million ft2, scalable to 12 million square feet per annum. … It will allow us to produce hotels, hospitals, care homes, student accommodation, residences, airports – all different types of real estate – with high speed and high quality at significant volume.”
Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and Bell2Bell’s latest guest to learn more about Modulex’s comparative advantages in its local markets across India, as well as the company’s recent milestones.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of any proxy statement relating to the proposed business combination, which is expected to be filed by PHP with the SEC, other documents filed by PHP from time to time with SEC, and any risk factors made available to you in connection with PHP, Modulex and the transaction.
