The 51st edition of IHGF Delhi Fair, held virtually from 19-23 May 2021, concluded after connecting its 700+ exhibitors with 2400 buyers from 110 countries as well as volume retail buyers and buying agents from within India. The show featured 12 well- defined categories offering plenty to choose from.
Theme Pavilions of Jammu & Kashmir and India’s North East Region with substantial representation of artisanal products added to the sustainability quotient. The show featured informative webinars offering plenty of insight on topical issues relevant to trade in the present times. While the enthusiastically planned physical show had to be cancelled in light of the second surge of the pandemic in India, this virtual edition with several engaging onsite experiences continued the sourcing cycle for buyers uninterrupted and helped capture global opportunities for manufacturers in India. Worthwhile to mention here is that manufacturing units of these exporters are fully functional with all Covid related SOPs in place.
