This is the reason we have decided to participate in the 69th edition too.” Rakhi Wadhwani from Wow! said, “I have been a regular participant at the NGFs for the last eight or nine years. As always, the service is on point. In terms of footfall, it betters itself every year and I believe that this year will be no exception. The way in which it is organised and promoted is truly remarkable.” The Business Networking Session with Agents and Distributors was held at the International Lounge, First Floor, Hall 1, from 2.00 PM to 5.00 PM. The session played host to about 50 Agents and Distributors from across the country, who keenly negotiated deals with the participants. Apparel spoke to people on the ground to get first-hand insights into the Session: Pranav Shah from Furia said, “I am quite new to the Industry, having been around since two years. Hence, the Business Networking Session helps me to find new Agents, Distributors, and customers. I am looking to distribute my products in upstate Maharashtra and cities in northern India such as New Delhi, Ludhiana, and Guwahati, as Furia already has a considerable reach in the south of the country.” 28 I APPAREL I August 2019 Poonam Trivedi from Angels Paradise eloquently expressed, “The Business Networking Session enables us to reach out to potential and crucial clientele. Organising the Networking Session has been a great initiative on CMAI’s part. We practically cannot travel to each and every region to market and distribute our products so this programme, through Agents and Distributors, helps us to tap many more regions of the country. Subsequently, we get to know about the likes and dislikes of our clients and work on our designs accordingly.” Day Two of the National Garment Fair was indubitably organised with much enthusiasm and dedication. The day ended at 9 PM, on an extremely positive note. It garnered a splendid response from each and everyone present. As everybody started dispersing at the stroke of 9, remnants of excitement and a sense of sweet anticipation for the coming days pervaded the venue. Having received huge footfalls and large-scale bookings, Day Two of the 69th NGF mirrored all the excitement that was to unfurl during the third day of the Fair.
