EDITOR’S
WELCOME
Welcome fellow industry partners,
This volume of Kids India magazine begins the count-
down for THE grandest international event of the Indian
industry for toys, games, sports, school articles and other
children related products.
With this edition, I like to personally invite you to the sixth
edition of Kids India from 04 – 06 September 2018 in
Mumbai. A lot of exciting events and newness has been
planned. Manufacturers and suppliers from all over India
and other countries presenting the most innovative de-
signs and trends await to meet you there.
While keeping track of the count down, this edition
brings to you a lot of interesting articles from all over the
world!
As a retailer, selling the stock in time is a real challenge.
Wont it be less stressful if you get some advice to get rid
of those shelf warmers? Eva Stemmer and Jörg Meister
shares practical tips with you in here.
Spielwarenmesse ® will turn 70 next year! In all these
years, it has marked itself as the most important event for
the world's toy industry as it is the perfect combination of
being experienced as well as being up-to-date with the
latest changes and trends! Experience the Spirit of Play
at the key meeting point for the toy industry.
Continuing its tradition of providing the platform of rais-
ing and discussing important industry topics, Spiel-
warenmesse along with one of the supporting organiza-
tions, The All India Toy Manufacturers Association (TAIT-
MA) managed to bring together all the stakeholders of
the industry i.e. government, associations, manufactur-
ers, distributors and retailers under one roof to debate on
the current topic of Safe Toys in India. Read here on how
the discussion went by. And do not miss to witness the
discussion live as it will be carried forward at Kids India
2018.
Since Kids India is just around the corner, find all relevant
information on what to expect this year along with the
top reasons to visit, special areas, seminar schedule and
your way to the fair ground.
We look forward to welcoming you to the sixth edition in
Mumbai.
Happy reading to you!
Yours,
Katharina Janotta
