In the last two years LEDs have become popular in India. I have already met with six Asian suppliers during the first round of discussion at the fair.

The scale of this fair is large and there are many suppliers, as well as a range of interesting products. This is the right sourcing channel.” Makrand Laxmikant, Vice President – Technology, Wipro Lighting, India “We supply lighting products for supermarkets and homes in Russia.
