We are here at HGH India for the first time. What we are expecting from this experience is to understand the market here in Mumbai and what is it that the people who are coming to the show are looking for. We are hoping to get an understanding on the kind of offering that we as a brand can offer to them and find alternative channels to retail which are beyond our store and e-commerce. We are looking forward to network and understand the category in the western markets of India as we are a Delhi based brand.

This is our fifth year with HGH India and I can easily say that we see growth and value in it and that is the reason we come back every six months now that HGH India is a bi-annual show. While it is the best in what it does in bringing the industry together. There will be a certain percentage of exhibitors who want to crack e-commerce or let’s say, enter the GCC region and start business avenues outside of India. I feel, HGH India can take that leap and change avatar and enable brands and manufacturers in this space.

Indian Jute industry is one of the oldest industries in the country. It has almost 50,000 companies, 2 lakh workers in the mills sector and 2 lakhs in Jute diversified sector which includes small artisans, entrepreneurs, MSME units across the country. The size of the MSME industry as on date is 18 thousand crores and export is 4 thousand crores per annum. HGH India has sort of symmetry with the jute board because it also promotes the handicrafts, home furnishings and accessories sector. Jute products mainly are handicrafts and accessories. In this edition we have taken almost six booths from Kolkata, Pune and Panipat. They are representing jute shopping bags, carry bags, mats, carpets and rugs. HGH India has the potential to connect us to the relevant retailers in India as well as there are many buyers from across the country and the oversees market.

We have been associated with HGH India from the very inception. We have done every show that HGH has done. We find it as a platform to meet new people and it is not the same as meeting them at their stores and offices. HGH India gives us a platform to strengthen our brand equity which is one of the major advantages. - Home Textile

    This is our first participation in HGH India. It has been a fantastic experience in terms of footfalls and trade participation received. To provide a complete home solution, Asian Paints has ventured into furnishing fabrics, furniture, decorative lights which are retailed from our Beautiful Homes stores or partner stores. We participated at HGH India intending to make the trade and consumers aware that we are into a variety of home décor categories. This objective was met successfully. At HGH India we have been able to connect with many trade partners and like-minded individuals to explore further business possibilities

    It is my first HGH India show and I am super excited to be here. This is the show we have been waiting for, for the past 18 months. The quality of footfalls is really good as people are taking time out going through the RTPCR test and taking care as per all the COVID protocols. The organizing team is taking care of all the stakeholders' health and safety. People are coming here with a focus on business.

    Very pleasant experience where we could see only serious buyers are coming. The venue is great in terms of infrastructure. Buyers have come in good numbers. My retail friends were tired of virtual meetings and were badly missing a physical meeting. So HGH India 2021 became a great platform to meet all of them together and generate good business prospects for mutual benefit.

    Feeling very good to be at HGH India 2021, it is great to meet people after a long span of two years. We showcased a new retail format that is going to be future retail for Sleepwell. HGH India is the right opportunity to showcase the future retail look to the retailers. Many Sleepwell dealers also visited and they were very happy with the feel of our booth. We were able to generate interest amongst them to upgrade their store to this new retail format.

    It's a wonderful experience coming to HGH India. I was a little scared that people might not turn up due to the COVID scare, and also because the show was held after a gap of 2 years. But we were pleasantly surprised with the excellent response we got. Dealers came from all over India, especially from South India. We also got overseas buyers from Dubai and Kuwait.

    HGH India is a very important platform. In 3-4 days, we could showcase our brands and entire new range to both our existing and new buyers. Large format retailers (LFS) could see the entire range and price brackets at a glance. Taking off from HGH India show, we can proceed further in business with large format stores, corporate stores, distributors and traditional retailers.

    This is the platform for meeting most of the dealers, distributors or buyers from the large formats stores throughout India. It becomes one stop platform for meeting everybody and we have been participating for almost every year. We use this as a platform to grow our dealer, distributor network. I have seen lot of traffic this year looking at almost 3 times amount of leads we have last year. I see the exhibition growing in the terms of categories and we look forward to this show for all our product launches. We are really excited to be here, we are primarily being Export Company and now on this space we realized there is enormous potential that exists in brand space, in the quality space, in the supply chain space, we feel it’s a little segmented into zip codes. It’s a tough way in but I see a huge opportunity here.

    This is our 6th year. Over the numbers of years, the number of exhibitors even for our product range wallcoverings has gone up. We also have an All India Wallpaper Coverings Association platform being given by HGH India which is kind of good thing which is happening. So lot of new exhibitors have come in the fair which shows how the industry is growing, how the product is growing, which in itself speaks volume to the people who come here and see that industry is healthy, that you have so many exhibitors exhibiting this product and being a premium brand I think that put us also on top of the heap of the pile. This year we have done lot of work on the digital wallcovering and we have tie up with Krishna Mehta who is very famous Indian designer, who has developed a brand new range for us so that has been one of the highlights and everyone who have come here and seen the collection has been astounded by the kind of design varieties which has been launched by us.

    Excellent and this is the right forum for you to meet your customers, to meet your visitors, to meet the people who are connected with you in the trade so it becomes extremely a nice forum to what you can call to introduce your products and talk about it and to take it forward. We are really happy with the show. The participation helps you to showcase your products, people to build little more awareness about your product. We hardly do any bookings here, we are booked till autumn – winter, we are completely sold out till autumn – winter, but it helps people understand what the company is doing like we have just introduced an innovative concept call make your own bedsheet wherein you can send in your design and for only Rs. 1999/- we make bedsheet as per your design and will ship it to you in 30 days.

    We have been with HGH India since its first year, and are thus overjoyed to be part of the show again. The response to our offerings has been great on all three days. Each year, we look forward to meet retailers and consumers from different regions, cities and towns of India every year and in my opinion, this is the perfect platform to achieve the same. I believe that this industry is still evolving and therefore, I am thankful to HGH India for consistently providing us the opportunity to showcase our new concepts and merchandise to strengthen our rapport with visitors on all three days of the trade show.

    As a brand, we are relatively nascent and thus, are honoured to have been part of HGH India for the past four years. We want to learn with each passing year, from these experiences that will help our growth and augment our connection with consumers. It is great to witness all the action of a home products marketplace under one roof. I believe that this is a great platform as it not only helps you evolve as a brand, but also prepares you for the following year. I am looking forward to a great response from our visitors this year too.

    For me HGH India is very special exhibition, our company has grown from here. Also, DC launched DC Home this year and we have keep in spirit with your ambience of product mixes. We have introduced first of its kind innovative tie up with Aditya Birla and we have launched environmentally free bedding range, we have come up with the concepts of readymade curtain, cushions. We have introduced RRP i.e. recommended retail price where the customer gets the complete flexibility to get an advantage of product which is based at a very substantially good price. So, brands are because brand sustains the longevity of the product, so customers, retailers are happy with it plus another thing about soft home furnishings is the categories cannot be perished, so the way it is growing now it’s in organized manner and spaces are getting divided. We had lot of chain stores also coming in and I got buyers this time from China, Turkey, so it adds it makes a complete experience and there are things which have really fallen into place. As they say the 7 years itch is over so the story will get stronger for you and I am always gonna be with you in spirit and in product.

    I have witnessed the stupendous growth of HGH India as well as the betterment in the standard of buyers coming in every year. I also feel that it is a great platform for any exhibitor to launch their new collections and ranges due to the impressive footfalls that can be recorded annually. This year, we have launched our Autograph collection with a brand new catalogue and the response to the same along with our other products on display makes it more exciting for us to exhibit at HGH India 2019 too.

Also, Mr. Arun Roongta and team have done an excellent job, as always in making this a grand success. I would just like to say that I am looking forward to an increase in exhibitors under Home Textiles i.e. in Hall 1 as I see the increase mainly in Halls 2 and 3. Even the visitors’ services being provided are great and I must laud HGH India for the same.

    More retailers, more distributors, distributors from 2 tier and 3 tier cities, we get everybody from the metros and the cities like Bangalore and everywhere. But we are looking at more inroad into 2 tier and 3 tier cities. We are hoping we will get that this year. We don’t have a normal person walking in as a retailer and wanted to pick something from us. So, we really see business people coming in with a purpose of real buying, so that’s the biggest USP of it. Apart from that the show is managed very professionally so that makes it even more comfortable for us and thirdly it is very warm place be here.

This makes navigation through the exhibition for customers with individual preferences a seamless process. We have had a mixed bag of visitors from different regions and spaces such as organised retail, B2B, e-commerce and trade in general. I believe that HGH India has a good brand value which makes the participation here a great opportunity for vendors.

    Footfalls have been fantastic for Bergner this year, a clear sweep from last year. I have witnessed the continuous improvement of HGH India since its inception as we have been a part of it since the first edition. From just three to four booths a few years ago to an entire hall being dedicated to houseware and gifts this year, the evolution is pretty evident. This particular year, in spite of the heavy rainfall, the response we received on day one was great too and thus, I am happy with this long-standing association with HGH India.

    We have one of the largest populations in the world and we are also having a very fast growth of per capita income, which means the affordability of buying luxury items is increasing day by day. So, we are in that preparation preparedness to absorb more and more domestic items in the Home textiles. In addition to that we are also becoming more fashionable, more trendy. Certain areas of Home textiles like when you are putting anti-bacterial property or fire retardancy or even water repellent properties, all those becomes technical textiles in their own right, so that is another segment which the government is very much encouraging. So, I would like all the innovations which are happening, they should come more and more and we should develop. We are the hub of the manufactures. We should become even a stronger hub and reach out to all the global markets. The soul and the heart of our country rest with handicrafts, rest with khadi, we have got great kind of sentimental attachment to these products. The artisans that I saw I think they are the best anywhere in the world and the kind of art which they have really requires to be nurtured and requires to be developed because this art can never be replaced in many many years.

    India has diversified its products so much there it has very inexpensive, very durable, non-woolen, cotton, denim, linen, jute, multiple products that are used or useable in the Indian climate or Indian scenario or are good for a middle, upper – middle or middle class Indian society, so that has changed. Carpets are good for export, it is good and it is being exported but I think carpets will be sold in Indian markets specially the medium and low end products, especially the non-wool and non-silk products and I think it is true that most of the Indian handmade carpets manufacturers and exporters have already started look inwards towards India as a market. They are opening retail outlets or opening, making distributors and channels of distribution across India and that is going to happen.
    The response for imported stuff in India is also very good specially the machine made and the wooden flooring carpets. Indian corporate, Indian hotels, Indian malls, an offices have a huge potential whereas residences will always like and want customized, small size, different shapes, different looks and feels. Indian corporate offices, Indian real-estates, Indian retail malls, will all have imported machine made rugs because the technology is improving, the prices are coming down and India has huge commercial market.

    This is our first year at HGH India and I think it is a very good platform to engage with local retailers and other buyers. As a brand that majorly exports kitchen products and cookware, we are aiming for a stronger presence in this ever-growing market and thus, are hoping to achieve this goal via HGH India 2018. So far, it’s going well for us and I am confident of an equally good, if not a better response from visitors tomorrow. Overall, HGH India 2018 has surpassed my expectations.

    Berghoff is very distributed over six continents but in India we haven’t taken any step yet but we see and we feel actually as a market is changing a lot also in India and it’s I think is a second fastest growing market in Asia. So it’s a very first step of a Berghoff brand in India and our expectations are actually very high. We see that the market is growing and also special effect to household products and we expect actually here to find hopefully a partner who can help us penetrate the market this can be either an importer or importer distributor helping us to cover the distribution for the whole of India. We had a massive response to our presence here, so that has been great, we have been able to get in touch with lot of people, importers, with also distributors also people having their own retail stores telling us about the Indian market so it has been very interesting for us to be here. So we couldn’t be here that’s why we decided now to start and we need to put lot of efforts to penetrate this new market.

We have we have over 350 new products coming into the Indian market so that exciting first. One thing is particular that is our IT genio range, so this is the special range for Mums.

    I think it has been a great fair since the time we have started. I think this is our fourth year of participation and it keeps us quiet busy with the number of visitors which come, the number of trade visitors we handle. So overall it has been a good experience to be taking art in this. So, this our fourth year of participation in HGH and it has been a good experience. We get a lot of trade visitors which is actually the whole point of being in this exhibition. And it has been a good experience for the last four years and that is why we are here again. And we find the number of visitors increasing every year so it is a good trend we see overall in HGH which is a good experience for us.

    HGH is a very good platform, one because all my dealers across India, where all furnishing stores, flooring stores, so all of them visit this exhibition, because they can buy a lot of fabrics, because the main show is for fabrics, so every dealer comes out here they see all my new collections, so I don’t need to go city to city with all my collections to show, they come here and they can do the selection. So the platform is very easy for us to do the marketing and introduce new collections which will be coming this year.

    It has been a fantastic response. You know we are trying to build our brand in India and you know HGH is helping us in that journey. So you know a lot of very interesting people have walked in and we are looking forward to the next couple of days to see more buyers come. I think this is the most domestic show, where you know a lot of people come, so you know we thought it is the most relevant to show our products with a lot of good brands coming in.

    I must admit, we are participating in a lot of exhibitions, but this is definitely a top level show. The best we liked about HGH is that, very serious buyers come here. There is no just people coming to roam around. We have got good enquiries from HGH and I think it’s a good decision on our part to participate in HGH. See, one major thing in wooden flooring is that india is in a very starting stage of wooden flooring. So, deals in terms of we are giving them a complete education program, like our team will go with them to market and educate the architects and key decision makers.

    So earlier there were no avenues for furnishing companies or window decoration companies or curtain styling companies like us to have a common platform to display all our products, and each of us used to have our own individual shows wherein you know people used to come and it was difficult for them also to make it to these shows, to each of these individual shows. But now, this being a common platform, it is easy for our customers to meet everyone at one go. So this is a very important thing I feel.

    Ankita: I think it is a very good platform, especially for start – ups like us. We would not have imagined, this kind of response anywhere else. We could have done a B2C, but we chose to do a B2B and that I think has helped us a lot because we got so many offers. The response was overwhelming and it could not have gone better. Otherwise, we would not have possibly been. The fact that we are a small start-up. I don’t think we would have reached them, unless we would have been at HGH, because there was no way we could have reached that level of contacts as such, had this opportunity not presented it to us. Toral: I would say that I definitely does because, for a new start up like us, we have got opportunities related to e-commerce as well as retail stores and outlets, so being on both the platforms, it has been an amazing opportunity for us to be at HGH.

    See a lot of us here are basically entrepreneurs who have recently started businesses. Right and all of us need a platform, where we reach out to different stores and retail formats that are outside of the city where we work in. so though we are a Bombay based company, we have met you know different lifestyle store owners from all over India. So to get that kind of reach, and to speak to so many people while sitting in your hometown, I think it is a boon for entrepreneurs like us.

    Bhavesh:Lots of rural areas from where we never thought they came up. Yeah the rural parts, Shillong, Siliguri, even the Guwahati, even the Calicut, lots of small small places, we think India is expanding for us in these small places. India is booming right now I think. Prithvi: Primarily I think the people from all these places, they have come for sourcing, and mostly they are expanding their own businesses, for which they are looking for products and services which are good established and top of the line. I think HGH helps brands like ours to create an awareness, for people who do not know how to get the brands which they are looking for at their own places so yes, that gives a good platform.

    A lot of exhibitions, but they are not into the theme of the indianflavour. And india you know, the indianness matters, and that is what you have done. And I must say, I mean I have seen you up your act every every year. And this is something really good. Well done! I must say. When you talk about india and you talk about a country of two billion people sixty to seventy percent are millennials and baby boomers, and they have a great aspiration and that is what I see. And believe me fashion does not mean to be expensive, fashion could be affordable as well.

Asim: it has been a great experience for us participating in this fair. Atleast we have been able to showcase our products to many many distributors, retailers and traders in the home textile business.

    We chose HGH to launch the first digital home campaign of Dicitex. So we have actually gone online with the retailers. HGH is a beautiful format, we have had various customers, congratulations to the HGH team for pulling it off. We have been a small part of it and we will continue to grow with each other. The fair has really grown, it is completely international level now. Infact we have had international customers as well. The changes are, the retailers wants to know what the advances are made by the industry, and the entire industry is together at one platform, all the suppliers, all the buyers, all the agents, large format stores, to small format stores, there have been customers from Shoppers stop to Ranchi, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. So HGH is keeping its vision of grow in India, make in India, I feel it is time to probably go international now, all of us now. Dicitex is proud to partner it, we will continue partnering, and we continue to launch new products at HGH, as I explained to you we launched our digital campaign. We have done upholsteries, we have done bed linen, we did wallpaper, next year who knows what we will launch, thanks to HGH we will continue to grow and you grow we grow, the retailer grows, eventually consumer grows, in keeping with our vision of furnishing the world.

So this is our second year, where we actually launching our brand, under the name of ‘Anna Simona’. And the response has been tremendous. We should meet all the major retailers, you know by the coming season, and everyone has appreciated the products a lot. So it was a great show for us. So it’s a platform where you can actually you know introduce your collections and you know interact with all the retailers. So yeah it is a very important show.

    HGH is a very good platform for our home furnishing manufacturers, and we are also doing stock service for example, so it has grown very well over the last five years. We are seeing lot more customers coming in now. 15-20 % more retailers are visiting. So, it is very good for our business also. It has become like a market place where everyone is coming at one show and you know then we can display all our range here and immediately get the feedback from the customers what is doing well, what is not doing well, we get the critical appreciation also. So it helps our business also, getting the first hand feedback, otherwise if we were to do this in our office for example, I mean we would not meet so many people, we would not get so many reviews about our product range and everything. So it is a firsthand information and that helps us in our manufacturing to plan for future.

    Rajesh: I think brands are getting more acceptance now. Originally, traditionally, people were focussed on the unorganized sector, and it is something I have been saying for a long time, I think we are following where garments are. How many unbranded garments do you see today, except in the very c- segment or D- segment. Otherwise anybody, C+ or B aspires to have brands on their apparel and I feel that the same trend is going and I think maybe another 5 to 7 or 10 years, home will be as brand conscious as apparel is today. Abhinav: in probably a year, it is a great platform meeting people. And meeting people from the industry, seeing different trends happening around here, the show is just growing. That is what we feel.

    HGH we have been participating since past five years. We have actually seen growth of both, our brand as well as HGH. We started off with a small booth in the first year of HGH. Now we have grown ample of spaces to be at this position now. And we have seen the quality of customers and the dealers and the distributors which come in. and it has immensely helped us in our business expansions all across India.

    Experience at HGH was really very good. It is a very good platform and we have got a tremendous response. Our past participation, last two years we are participating, and every year we are getting a good growth by this, and it is really a good platform. And it is a one point solution for every retailer. As I said, it is a one point solution so retailers from two tier, three tier and smaller cities they can come at this point, at this platform and fulfil their need at one place.

    The good part is that, overall the aesthetic value and the décor in the consumer is increasing, so it gives confidence to the companies to come up with lot of innovative products, property led products and also the products wherein the home moves towards the fashion segment. We are experiencing the increase in the ticket value of bed and bath products in the large format stores primarily, and also in the multi – brand outlets. And yes we find a lot of coordinate stories going ahead, which also gives us as retailers a confidence to get lot of concepts across for the consumers in coordinate stories and ranges. We did not have any forum wherein we could come and get a B2B transaction done. It is primarily a B2B platform.

    So I think they have made a small change in the format in which they have homeware separately in terms of the kitchen art separate and the textiles in a separate hall and I think that is a value addition because the buyers are little bit different. So it is a value add for us because we get specific customers who are interested for the range of products that we are actually promoting. So I think from that point of view it has been a good move in the right direction. So I think that itself is the innovation. They have been able to attract better quality also of buyers, better quality of the customers in terms of the exhibitors and all of this is making us confident that in the future this will continue improving and increasing the exhibition space to show our ware and it is also a great place to launch new products. All of that helps any company in its brand image to announce to the market. Since, the last four years, we have been participating. We were here from the very year and we have continued growing our booth. In fact in the very first year, it was a much smaller booth, but now as the exhibition has grown, as we have grown, we have invested in larger and larger spaces, so we are happy about that. So a) it is of course located in Mumbai and Mumbai is our home as well and it is a place where we get a lot of the buyers especially in the modern trade formats, they sit out of Mumbai and they are more than happy to come in here to come and have a look in one show to see so many different brands. So therefore, it just makes sense for us to be here. In fact just today we had the buyers of all the leading large format stores visiting our booth. And we can show everything that we have. It is a very unique opportunity where you get a lot of time to show it and also because everybody else is here, it allows us to show how we are different from others. Those are all value additions. As far as other trade shows are concerned, I think there is an opportunity for having a trade show in Mumbai and HGH has taken that spot already. Once they have taken it, it is difficult to have two because that is not tenable. Since they were the first movers, we will support them and they will support us as well. It is about 5 pm now and the booths are a bit empty but in the morning I think there was no time to breathe. It was packed with visitors and that was pretty good for us. So you get a lot of exposure to the right kind of customers.

    Because of this exhibition we have been able to spread our product range quite a lot across and we have displayed the complete category and more and more smaller towns have also have come in, the retailers, individual stand alone to have a range of the product. Besides that again, the promotion for online has been pretty good, so online retailers also have come in to have a look at the venues.

    HGH is a fantastic platform for a lot of brands and us alike. It also gets a lot of new brands into the foray. So overall from an industry perspective, it is a fantastic exhibition and a lot of people get a chance to exhibit for the first time, a lot of new collections and a lot of new products, which is absolutely fantastic. HGH attracts a lot of people from you know the corporate world, from also corporate gifting side there are a lot of people who attend HGH. So that is the main reason we have chosen HGH as a platform because we have a lot of products that could be used as promotional products, we have a lot of products that go into you know, go into e-commerce and the modern trade formats, so that is the main reason that we have chosen HGH.

    HGH is very distinct from other trade shows, I say this because we only get people who matter in the business. We do not get the holiday crow coming in and that is the biggest plus point. We are not retailing out here, we are not people who want to create that kind of atmosphere where we want you know consumers coming in and touching and feeling. We want the trade to come in. So this is the perfect platform for us and the walk ins are genuine.

    This year we have an entire new section for the houseware and I see it over the years this multiplying by four times. And the platform to launch the new products, this is the ideal one. Lots of retailers are coming over. Not only the retailers, the modern trade retailers, the lifestyle products, the stand alone stores, so it’s a good platform to launch the new products, to bring new lifestyle products into the country. And we have been getting good responses year by year. As I told you, HGH is one of the best organised fairs in india, we have taken part in so many shows, but nothing to beat this. And now we have come to understand that, even if we only participate in this fair and leave alone the others it is alright. And focus the energies in this fair, it yields you a good result.

We have seen a lot of people from Mumbai and also Chennai and other places, not only mumbai but across the, I mean pan- India base. We found that it is a very good opportunity for us to participate here. Basically, this is my first time participating in this trade. I came to know of HGH from my reference like who are in this industry. And what I understood is that this event, this is one of the best platform for the new brands to participate in India itself. So that is the reason and basically it is the reference we have got and we came here.

    Buyers, retailers come in from interiors of Kerala, of Tamil Nadu, of Eastern India, northern India, so that has been very positive, yes. Well it seems like the market is actually seeming to be stronger than we had thought. Our perception before the show was that the demand has been a little lackluster. But we see that the demand is strong, especially in the tier three, tier four service sectors, we find that the lifestyle is changing, it iss improving. The consumption and the demand is strong. So, it has been a pleasant surprise.

    India is one country which is growing, the GDP is growing at a steady rate of 7.5%. so there is a growth in the demand and our population is also 65% of our population is below 35 years and there is a huge demand and the younger generation is giving a lot of thought and there is a lot of demand for standard home products, you know home décor products, they believe in spending lot of money on these products. So India is in fact one of the largest market for these products you know. And the way it is growing despite the international recession, I think India is the destination of the future. Absolutely, absolutely, the kind of quality products which we have got, and the kind of trends which are now shown in this exhibition today, I am sure that world over people, countries, different countries will be very happy to source home décor products from here.

    I think HGH India has come a long way, it is the fifth edition, and they have expanded quite considerably, and the kind of show, it is of a very high international level. I am very much hoping that this becomes an international show also. China is slowing down a little bit. With the space which will be created, and our own kind of a push which we are taking up, I think the two things will combine together, and we will be having a very good global presence in the international market. We already have a good global presence, but that is going to definitely increase much further.

    Better than any international shows, because I have seen so many shows worldwide, in Europe & USA, but it is better than in many respects. Home Textiles, HGH, generally home textiles comes in the mind of people is furnishing, bed sheets, linen all those things. But home textiles is not limited to that, home textiles means, whatever product you use at home, that comes under home textiles, and this show reflects that.

    Last three years as I have been seeing has grown many a fold. And has become very very vital and important for the domestic market consumers and the retailers. Because HGH is now one platform for many a crafts, many a textile things which are being made in India, which have been focusing mostly on the exports, have not given any weightage to the domestic market. HGH has been one of the platforms where, who has been instrumental in getting all those big manufacturers together to see what the demands are and to see and show to the people that this product can be also sold in their country itself. See HGH, as I see has already made a niche in the domestic market. They have understood the requirements, they have exhibition parameters of international standards that is what we require. So, but over the years they are also in the learning mode and have adopted to requirements of the world consumers, the world buyers. And they are very selective in putting the companies who have good name and have made niche in their field to bring them on this platform. HGH can play a very vital role. As I see, as I told you over the, I have seen the fair growing year by year, so HGH doing all what is required to make a fair to the international level. No compromise with the quality, this is the mantra of HGH. They don’t compromise with the quality, they don’t compromise with the standards laid for the exhibition, and they are always in the listening mode, whatever the exhibitor wants, whatever the exhibitors require, they always try to follow it up in the subsequent fairs.

    It’s a fabulous exhibition, it has got a great energy, so many different brands and fabulous content on each and every brand! Portico particularly over here, is looking very lively, colourful, beautiful prints, beautiful colours, I see some great new collections in pastels and vibrance on plain fabrics and really really nice comfortable fabrics, great textures, and I guess I want to take all of this home. You know I think this partnership is a great synergy. So I guess so why not even household. And today designers are trickling down to each and every aspect of your household. Especially bed linen, where you want quality, you want a brand, you want great prints, you want something that you can take in your trousseau, which is also something that is beautiful and you can keep it for posterity and it looks gorgeous when you use it in your home. Absolutely, I think there is a huge scope for fashion designers and my association with portico goes down almost now 4-5 years. And I am seeing the kind of recurrent requirement that’s coming from the consumer who is aspiring for a brand on the household items and I think it is great because, it is not only something that is prevalent now, but it is on the increase. Whether you take a branded value to household, whether you take it to your clothes, whether you take it to the cars, or anything as per say.

    India is for sure a growth. We are in a moment of international business which is shrinking, generally speaking. India is growing. India is not comparable to the rest of international market. India is very specific in the taste, is very specific in the rules and very specific also in the product taste. So I think that India cannot, will not follow, the general trend of the international market but will have its specific growth, its specific path.

    This is as I told you, this is our second year that we decided to come here to support our distributors and our contacts and we consider this fair most important because we can keep a warm contact with our customers, with our end consumers and to take also the feeling about our products and the things we need to improve and we need to change. But now we have the right people inside our stand, the right people that want to see our products, and works with our product. We are thinking of this fair as a long term investment. When we invest in a country or in a fair, we think it is not so much smart to go one year and that’s all. We know that we need to add our product and our mentality, our peer mentality to the market in india. And this is much important how we come to feel this having a direct contact with the customer. The only way to do it is to attend a fair and now for the moment, for us, the most important fair in India for our production is this fair.

    Interest in exhibiting arised three years ago, and many of our exhibitors are interested in this market. I think this market is the second biggest market in the world, Chinese is the first one, India is the second one. This exhibition is very big exhibition and a very professional. They cover the home textile, housewares, glassware, tableware, even the gifts. This housewares market is very huge market in china. Many of the manufacturers would like to develop their market in India, so that is why we chose this exhibition.

Why we chose this platform is because we want to penetrate into the Indian market. I would say it is growing, and we have received and exchanged a lot of contacts at this exhibition. We are still in a process of filtering the potential retailers and our customers.

    HGH India is a brilliant platform for anyone to showcase new collections that they are launching for the year or on six months basis. It is a brilliant idea where you can showcase new collections that are launched internationally. As we are into imports and are sourcing from various parts of the world, we get different products specialized from different areas and are easily able to showcase it to all the kind of customers across India on one platform. Exposure has grown as a brand due to HGH India. We are getting exposed to smaller cities where our sales people cannot reach. There are so many other customers who are in these little towns and we are able to expose our product range completely to them at HGH India.

    I have seen the footfalls at HGH India increase by 50%, with the GDP of our country which has gone up about 7.5 to 8% of Indian economy, I think the response has been overwhelming even for Spaces and our brands in India. The growth actually last year has been around 35%. This year we have a promising growth of around 65%. You can imagine how and at what speed the Indian market is growing and evolving. The base is small at this moment but we see a lot of promise.

    HGH India, I think it was the need of the hour. I am very impressed with what I am seeing here today. I think it was important for people to get exposed to what home fashion is and how your home can be beautified. Along with what you wear, home is also important. HGH has played that role. I think in future also they will do great. I am seeing this fair for the first time I mean in such a big scale. I hope this will grow into a really large thing. Indian public actually needs to get exposed to the fashion for their home and for their kitchen.

    HGH India is one platform to see our online retailers, modern retail, as well as the B2C factor, they all come under one roof. They share their experience, see the new range. This type of experience has never been present in India before, we have always had an international exposure. I think HGH is doing a great job by getting this market together and giving us manufacturers an opportunity to understand and take one to one feedback. It is a great thing and they are improving year on year. I am looking forward to a great association with HGH.

    HGH India is the show where we can showcase all our new products. Customers understand that, if they see, they want to feel it, if they feel it, then today or tomorrow they are ready to buy the products.

    HGH India is the only platform available in India for importers like us. Where we are able to interact not only with the modern trade, but also with standalone stores across the country. We don’t have any other platform available wherein we could also tap the individual retailer. Even the B & C town retailers are also being tapped and have been coming in. The visitors I have been seeing from 2012 to till date, there is a drastic change. Almost a growth of about 40 to 50 percent of the visitors walking in.

    There is more awareness within the trade channel for HGH India, which is very important for us. We don’t get the undesired crowd coming in to buy or to look at us. It works out better for us in that format, because it is a very trade centric crowd that we get, let me put it that way. We are very happy about that. The trade channel partners come in here, the online partners, large format retailers, traders, dealers. It is basically our target audience or immediate target audience that comes in HGH India.

The arrangements were very good even the pick-up and drop facilities were very good. The overall ambience of the exhibition is good, eating section is taken well care.

    As this is the fourth edition, HGH India is a very good initiative which started in 2012, and I am sure over the years we have seen how it has grown, how people have responded and in times to come, I think it will become a milestone for Indian Market both from consumers’ and producers’ point of view. If you see, India is a young society, the younger people predominate India unlike China. So, new people are more receptive to new innovation, new ideas, new products and that is why probably it is one of the stimulus to the Textile Industry. When you bring out the new product, there is a good response, the entrepreneur, the manufacturers are encouraged to do that and even otherwise because of the other factors which play a part in global competitiveness. I think the domestic demand itself, the domestic market itself is throwing a challenge to the producers that probably you may not look at others as well, and it could be done very much on the home ground. But yes, certainly we need inter country collaborations both in terms of technique, style, color, preferences, consumers and what is wanted where. I think the whole industry should be geared up to cater to the consumers.

    I visited HGH for the first time last year. I was very happy with the standard of the exhibition. In general it was beyond my expectation. I visited HGH as a visitor going through some of the booths which you see here today. The whole idea at HGH India was to introduce the brand and preview the entire collection to the domestic market here. The quality of visitors, the quality of the buyers you get are the who-is-who in this industry. The quality of buyers that I have received past these few days are beyond my expectations.

In India there are some styles which are still different, but yes we as producer of curtain tracks can also make new design according to the request of the customers here.
