The Indian products exhibition, INDIANA-2017 scheduled to be held from March 16, has been postponed towards the third quarter of the year, a press release from the Indian Business & Professionals Network (IBPN), one of the three apex bodies of Indian Community in Qatar said.
IBPN along with its management partner, Square Exhibitions Management, were planning to have the Indian product exhibitions and sale at Doha Exhibition Center.
“Due to certain logistical reasons coupled with the wish of all parties involved to have a bigger platform to cover larger sectors of Indian products, we have taken a well-considered decision to move the event to either October or December” said Hana El Husseini, CEO of Square Exhibitions.
“The prestigious partnership with Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (QCCI) offering us their valuable patronage for INDIANA-2017, provided us the option to go for a bigger platform to showcase a wider range of Indian products and services than we had originally planned,” said KM Varghese, President of IBPN.
“The nature of the event which was proposed to be a mix of B2C and B2B providing the manufacturers the rare opportunity to reach and sell their products direct to the consumers, will be kept intact” added Varghese.
Buoyed by the enthusiastic support and participation of traders from the region and India so far, Dinesh Udenia, the Coordinating officer of IBPN and the First Secretary of Embassy of India, said “IBPN and Square Exhibition will now look forward to a larger representation of products and service sector from the existing plan to have only 200 exhibitors.
The exact dates and further details are being worked out by all stake holders and will be announced very soon, added the communique.
