As India rises as a global hub for business and innovation, the spotlight is now on the visionaries behind the scenes, i.e., the event service providers driving scale, precision, and world-class experiences across the MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions) industry. Organised by Indian Exhibitions, Conferences & Events Services Association (IESA), India Expo Shop 2025, scheduled for August 12–13, 2025, at Yashobhoomi, Dwarka, New Delhi, will feature over 100 leading suppliers showcasing how they are investing in cutting-edge technology, adopting AI, and shaping the future of events through innovation, global collaboration, and flawless execution.
From managing marquee productions like the G20 Summit, BharatTex, AeroShow, DefExpo, and India Energy Week to transforming spaces through design, logistics, AV, and fabrication, these entrepreneurs and builders are not just enabling events; they’re setting new industry benchmarks.
“India’s MICE sector is rapidly emerging as a key economic driver, hosting over 35,000 corporate events annually and nurturing a robust talent ecosystem. Valued at USD 49.4 billion in 2024 and projected to more than double to USD 103.7 billion by 2030, the sector reflects its growing strategic significance to Brand Bharat. India Expo Shop 2025 aims to showcase this momentum, celebrating the creativity, precision, and entrepreneurial spirit of our 3,000+ service providers,” said Mr. Jatinder Kapur, President, IESA.
India Expo Shop 2025 is where ideas meet execution, a platform for the bold, tech-led, and business-ready service ecosystem powering Brand Bharat’s global journey. With over 300 decision-makers and more than 2,000 professionals expected, the India Expo Shop 2025 provides a comprehensive overview of the industry’s capabilities and future direction. Backed by a decade of collective effort, IESA members continue to support the Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi’s vision of positioning India as a hub for global events, from BRICS to a future Olympics.
Ms. Uma Menon, General Secretary, IESA, said, “Over the past decade, IESA has focused on bringing together event service providers from across India under one unified platform. With a strong and growing community of over 550 members nationwide, we are now shifting our focus towards creating meaningful business opportunities across all segments of the industry. At this edition of Expo Shop, we are proud to launch ‘Eventfull Bharat,’ a unique initiative that provides a platform for new and smaller players to showcase their products and skills to the mainstream community. With an esteemed panel of mentors from industry and governance, we aim to nurture talent, encourage innovation, and ensure India’s event service ecosystem stays ahead of the global learning curve.”
Debuting this year, EventFull Bharat 1.0 will serve as a curated platform for emerging ideas, disruptive tech, and entrepreneurial ventures in the event services space. New-age startups will pitch live before a jury of industry leaders, global buyers, and investors. This first-of-its-kind initiative is designed to foster innovation, unlock fresh collaborations, and shape the next era of India’s MICE capabilities.
Having established itself as a premier industry platform through previous editions at IEML (Noida), NESCO (Mumbai), and Pragati Maidan (Delhi), India Expo Shop has consistently brought together thousands of service providers, buyers, and policymakers under one roof. With a 10-year legacy, it continues to drive the conversation forward on innovation, quality, and global competitiveness in the Indian MICE ecosystem.
Mr. Amit Kumar Jain, Principle & Co-Founder; Mr. Alok Singh, Principle & Co-Founder, Axis Designers Pvt Ltd, highlighted, “We’re excited to showcase our end-to-end design solution and fabrication capabilities for event exhibitions, architecture, and interiors in India Expo Shop 2025. We invite you to explore how we bring ideas to life. We don’t just build booths; we build experiences!”
India’s thriving startup ecosystem, rising global investments, and growing appetite for world-class experiences are accelerating the growth of its MICE industry. Behind every successful summit, trade fair, or conclave lies a robust service network, including planners, designers, AV experts, and logistics teams, ensuring flawless execution.
As India accelerates toward a future defined by smart cities, net-zero construction, and sustainable infrastructure, India Expo Shop 2025 emerges as a critical platform to align national ambition with world-class delivery, turning vision into reality.
