VASTRA, an all-encompassing trade fair and conference on Textiles and Apparel, presents a fusion of the finest and the latest in textile products – from fibre to fashion, services and technology. Crafted to create business opportunities, it aims at revitalizing existing business ties and forging of new business relations. It is the ideal platform to enter JVs, strategic alliances and partnerships worldwide, launch new products, as well as, harness new locations for setting up businesses in India. It is also a place for disseminating technology and interacting with R&D Labs and experts for solution in technology and latest trends.

VASTRA, since its inception in 2012 has created a space for itself in the calendar of international exhibitions on textiles and apparel. VASTRA - 2016 saw presence of 179 exhibitors covering entire textile domain, 85 International buyers from across the globe and 122 representatives from Indian buying houses. 1365 structured B2B meetings in VASTRA-2016 generated US$ 17 million worth of business.

Live demos of traditional textile crafts, business fashion shows, concurrent conferences, participation of Indian states, networking events are a few special recurring features.

VASTRA, will establish its name to newer heights and create a unique space in the textile / apparel sector all across the globe. It would be a new paradigm in terms of relevance, quality and new product offerings in textiles and apparel while presenting enhanced business opportunities for all stakeholders.

One of the added attractions of VASTRA will be the combination of B2C component along with B2B. VASTRA, as usual, will remain a B2B trade fair. First three days will be devoted exclusively to B2B and the last day will have B2C activities, involving retail sales. This will provide simultaneous opportunities to those exhibitors who may be looking for directly reaching the end users as well. VASTRA, in its new setup, will provide much more enhanced business opportunity to all stakeholders.
