TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
Dear Sir,
I am glad to inform you that after experiencing tremendous success in the first-ever Source India Programme held at Hotel Grand Hyatt, Mumbai during 2010, the Council has now decided to organise the second edition of Source India Programme under the MAI scheme - an exclusive Buyer-Seller Meet in Surat inviting buyers from Asia, Middle East & Gulf, Africa and South American countries. The forthcoming Source India/RBSM Programme will be held on August 13th & 14th, 2016 in Hotel Grand Bhagwati, Surat.
The objective of holding the Mega Export Promotion Programme in Surat is to showcase Surat as the leading centre of production of synthetic fabrics in India and to highlight the Council’s initiative of “Focus Surat” to further develop this thriving textiles centre as a hub of production and exports of synthetic fabrics in India.
The Source India progamme is primarily aimed towards aggressive selling of Indian man-made fibre textiles to leading apparel and textiles buyers in Asia, Middle East & Gulf, Africa and South America, and offers a tailor made opportunity for members-companies to conclude profitable business deals with international buyers right here in Surat without expenses and hassles of travel abroad.
The Buyer-Seller Meets will be widely publicized to attract leading foreign buyers and will consist of advertisements, flyers, brochures, Exhibitors Catalogue, website, media releases, etc. It may also be mentioned that the buyers will be identified and selected by the Council with expert help and active guidance of the respective Indian Missions in each country and with the assistance of the foreign textiles & clothing Trade Bodies/Chambers, etc. Moreover, the expenses toward the visit of the select number of “core impact” buyers like airfare/hotel accommodation are being subsidized by the Council to ensure the success of the Buyer-Seller Meets.
Buyers from United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Poland, Australia, United Kingdom, United States, European Union, Cambodia, Iran, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Kazakhstan Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan, Nigeria, Morocco, Turkey, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala, etc. are being invited to make the function successful.
Representatives of the leading international apparel brands and their Buying Houses of international repute based in India and abroad, and others connected with the import of textiles including the leading apparel manufacturers in India will also be present at the Buyer-Seller Meets to discuss and firm up business deals.
On the occasion of the Buyer-Seller Meets, Fashion Shows will be held to showcase suitability of Indian fabrics/madeups for the fashion needs of Asia, Middle East & Gulf, Africa and South America. Seminars/Conferences will also be held on the occasion to bring together Indian participants and visiting buyers. The Conference will also help in interaction and exchange of ideas for mutually beneficial co-operation, explore possibilities of joint ventures, identify problem-areas, and solve them and thus nurture better business relationship.
The Council proposes to select more than 100 member-companies of different product groups including suitings, shirtings, made-ups items, home textiles, dress materials, sarees, yarn and fibre on a first-come-first served basis for participation in the Buyer- Seller Meets. Since the above programme is Surat Centric, member-companies based in Surat will be given preference for participation in the Event. Being a company keen to expand exports; I am confident that you would not like to miss this unique opportunity.
The details of participation fee are being worked out and the same will be communicated to you shortly. Meanwhile, to ensure participation of your company in “Source India” (Buyer-Seller Meets), please rush the attached Reply Form duly filled in to the Council at the earliest.
