Chairman’s Message

Dear Fellow Exporters,

With the success of this IHGF Delhi Fair -Spring 2024 and our participation at Bharat-Tex 2024, we must
together keep up the spirit and momentum to capture business while the world is looking up to India
as the preferred and reliable sourcing partner. I trust that our esteemed members will leverage the
forthcoming 18th IFJAS and 3rd Khilona - India Toys & Games Fair, scheduled from June 24th to 26th,
2024, along with the concurrent GI Fair India.

In line with our strategic focus on emerging trends and proactive design interventions to enhance
product development, our 'Design Connect' portal launched recently, serves as a gateway to a plethora
of possibilities in product development. Moreover, a slew of initiatives are underway to strengthen
existing markets while strategically targeting new ones, propelling our handicrafts sector toward
exponential growth and global eminence.

EPCH's robust framework of multi-pronged strategies are in sync with the ambitious target of achieving
3 times the handicrafts exports by 2030 i.e. 'Teen Guna Tees Tak'. Our futuristic logo underlines our
strong belief and commitment to ‘Connecting, Empowering and Transforming’ our sector. I am confident
that we are all united with unwavering dedication toward this aspiration, recognizing it as a shared
objective. In sync with the evolving landscape of the industry, we are determined to solidify India's
standing on the global stage as the nucleus for handcrafted products.

Do feel free to share your thoughts with me by writing to chairman@epch.com.

(Dileep Baid)

Chairman, EPCH
