A WORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN

It’s an exciting time for fashion in India because when

it comes to the potential for multiplier growth, we’ve
barely scratched the surface. This means that the best
is yet to be created.
The catalyst for this untapped potential lies in collaboration,
innovation, and new partnership ideas. I invite you to join me
and the India Fashion community on the 28th and 29th of
