Plan to visit India? Want to tap into its gigantic business base? Your first stop has to be Namaste Bharat 2024. Join an expected 50,000 attendees from 25 – 28 Jan 2024 at Singapore Expo for the event’s 11th edition. It brings to Singapore over 100 exhibitors showcasing a variety of B2B and B2C products and services.
You will be in good company with Dr Shilpak Ambule, High Commissioner of India as the Chief Guest and special guest Mrs Amruta Fadnavis, banker, singer and social activist gracing the occasion. The brand ambassador of Namaste Bharat 2024 is actress and producer, Kushboo Sundar.
The 4-day event has been scheduled to coincide with India’s Republic Day, making it the perfect opportunity to showcase the subcontinent’s magnificent culture and traditions, its classic and contemporary art, and its fashion, food, organic products and innovations.
Expo aside, it would be a tragedy to miss just the Indian Food Festival here. There will be no shortage of culinary adventures to be had, from vegan and vegetarian wonders to street food surprises.
10 best Indian restaurants in Singapore to add spice to your life
Get an insight into the experience that is India through performance and visual arts. Be mesmerised by classical and folk dances replete with the vibrant colours and intricate choreography India is known for. Coupled with the equally frenetic and hypnotic Bollywood dance performances, the event is a treat for the eyes, ears and heart.
Take it down a few notches by stepping into the world of yoga and Ayurveda. The treasure trove of Indian wellness is only just being discovered widely and Namaste Bharat 2024 is the ideal opportunity to discover yourself from the inside.
That doesn’t mean you have to ignore the outside. Talented craftsmen from a range of disciplines will show attendees how they create timeless masterpieces with talent and skills passed down over generations. Take some time to pick an exquisite one-of-a-kind piece – jewellery, fabrics, textiles – from the booths to adorn your home.
At the heart of this movement is the Indian government’s powerful focus on ‘Made in India’ as a brand. Don’t mistake that for a corporate juggernaut; much of the effort is focused on cottage industries, individual artisans and rural-urban women entrepreneurs.
You, too, can make a difference by becoming a part of this initiative. If not, hey, the great food and kids’ entertainment make for a wonderful day out!
