Dear Friends,
The time has come: the first Kids India has its premiere in the Bombay Convention & Exhibition Centre from 24–26.10.2013. My team at
Spielwarenmesse eG, our co-operating partners and I have been looking forward excitedly to this fair for a whole year. We are pleased now to
extend our enthusiasm for play to India.
In my country people celebrate harvest festival in October everywhere. Most of the work has been done and the future is secured. Such festivals
are also celebrated in India and throughout most of the world. The key theme of these celebrations is the act of giving, because we ourselves have
received so much. We have succeeded in gaining the support of three partners for Kids India who are recognized as leading players in the Indian
market. The All India Toy Manufacturers’ Association (TAITMA) and the Sports Goods Export Promotion Council (SGEPC) continue to advise
us on all matters, and the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC) is our established partner. I would like to thank them all for their active
support, which has made our vision of a professional B to B fair for the Indian toy industry come true.
The time has come – and it’s time for giving. You are most cordially invited. Everyone seeking good fortune and success in the Indian toy market is just as much invited as those
who, like me, believe in this aspiring nation. Sales in the Indian toy industry are currently estimated at 850 million US dollars a year – with considerable growth potential. Join in this
dynamic progress and use Kids India as a platform for your business success. Trust in the experience and know-how of the internationally highly recognized Spielwarenmesse eG
and be our guest.
Let us together give Kids India something that will enable the toy industry to create a larger range of toys and games for India. Because the more children play, the more opportunities
they have for developing into strong personalities for shaping the future.
Yours,

Ernst Kick
Chief Executive Officer, Spielwarenmesse eG

These companies are looking forward to meeting you at Kids India!
