This expo will feature industrialists from various sectors including FMCG, solar, engineering, banking, education, and many others. Like every year, we are confident that this expo will accelerate several industries, leading to growth in the country’s GDP.”
“This is a multi-category expo. The primary goal is to elevate the country’s industries and brands to national and international platforms, which will bring about a revolutionary change in industries and holistic development. The expo will provide complete guidance to the youth and new startup entrepreneurs of the country, with a special emphasis on empowering women by providing them with a platform. Thus, GPBS is a platform offering excellent opportunities for everyone,” Jashwantbhai Patel, vice president, Sardardham (Gandhinagar), said.
This year’s expo will also feature businessmen and motivational speakers who will guide new entrepreneurs.
