Hosted Buyers represented 16 countries and also came from eight key cities in India. Suppliers represented 22 countries and 29 came from around India.
The event opened with a half-day conference attended by over 200 delegates and a keynote session from Devdutt Pattanaik, who talked about the teachings of mythology and how this can be translated into modern day business practices.
