69TH NGF SPECIAL
THE THIRD DAY OF THE
69TH NGF COMMENCED
ON A CRISP NOTE
AND BEFORE LONG,
METAMORPHOSED INTO A
VIBRANT MARKETPLACE.
DAY THREE
The third day of the 69th NGF commenced on
a crisp note and before long, metamorphosed
into a vibrant marketplace that consisted of attire
cutting across menswear, womenswear, and kids’
wear categories.
Day Three of the NGF began at 10 AM.
Exhibitors prepared to conduct business for
the day, while Buyers, too, began to arrive and
browse through the mélange of offerings. The
participants were fuelled with an excitement that
pervaded every corner of the venue and made for
a wonderful trading atmosphere.
Here is what a few participants had to say
about Day Three of the Fair:
Shanaya Sadh from Shape of You said, “This is
my second time with the NGFs; I participated in
the 68th NGF, which was held in January earlier
this year. I believe that the January Fair had a
better turnout in terms of fresher clientele. This
time around, we are seeing more or less the same
Buyers who are repeating their orders with us.
We are looking forward to forging ties with newer
clientele at the 69th Fair too.”
Prakash Parekh from HM said, “We have been
associated with CMAI’s NGFs since 2003. Year
after year, we have been receiving tremendous
response from Buyers at the Fair, which has
been the biggest reason behind the growth of
our business. Both our networking and booking
requirements are realised and met through
the Fairs.”
