IGJS is GJEPC’s maiden initiative and curated to bring together manufacturers from India, exclusively for select international buyers. Arulanandan, Director, Department of Commerce, GOI, said, “I’m glad to be part of the first edition of IGJS in Jaipur. The Government and Ministry’s role has moved from controllers to facilitators. GJEPC is the main link between the export community and the government. ” Colin Shah, Chairman, GJEPC said, “IGJS Jaipur is a classic example of the Government’s campaign to ‘Make in India for the world’, and the show will boost our efforts to reach USD 75 billion in exports in the next few years. The mystique of Jaipur will make this international show a success. Nothing beats the physical meet-and-greet interaction of a show. I thank the Ministry of Commerce for ironing out all issues. I think we will see a USD 5 billion boost in exports this year itself as a result of the FTA initiatives. We are also launching IGJS in New York in August followed by IGJS Dubai in November and one in Jaipur in February 2023. IGJS will turn out to be the show for the future.” Dilip Shah, Convener, International National Exhibitions, GJEPC gave the final vote of thanks.
