Kids India in Mumbai is the gateway to a rapidly growing market. The 10th year of this leading B2B fair for toys, children’s products and sports goods in India is scheduled to open its doors from 12 to 14 September.
It is being organised once again by Spielwarenmesse India, a subsidiary of Spielwarenmesse and the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce. Companies wanting to participate can still register for the event which is being staged at the modern Jio World Convention Centre. In addition, international visitors can take advantage of a highly attractive travel scheme.
The Hosted Buyers Programme has been made available again to give international retailers the opportunity to forge business partnerships and procure products from India. The Sports Goods Export Promotion Council (SGEPC) will reimburse the flight costs for those travelling to the event on 11 September. The package also includes a room for two nights in a 5-star hotel in Mumbai. The application form for this limited offer can be found on the Kids India website. Last year, 80 buyers from 35 countries benefitted from the scheme – including from Australia, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, the USA and the United Arab Emirates.
“International visitors on the Hosted Buyers Program will gain timely and inexpensive access to a whole host of innovative product ideas, new business contacts and the latest industry and market insights – live in Mumbai.”

Kids India set a new, record number of exhibitors in the same year with 160 companies unveiling a wide selection of toys, children’s products and sports goods across 18 product groups.
