Shopping will be more than just retail therapy in Mumbai this August. It will be a journey through India’s heritage, global craftsmanship, and the unstoppable spirit of women entrepreneurs.
On August 10 and 11, 2025, the IMC Ladies’ Wing Women Entrepreneurs’ Exhibition returns for its 38th edition, at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, with a dazzling showcase of creativity. Since its inception in 1987, this platform has championed women-led businesses, and this year promises to be its most vibrant celebration yet.
Adding extra sparkle, actor Manushi Chhillar will attend as the chief guest, lending her voice to a cause that blends enterprise with empowerment.
“This isn’t just a marketplace — it’s a celebration of dreams, resilience, and impact,” says Kalpana Shah, Chairperson of the Exhibition Committee. “As we mark 38 years, we honour the collective strength, creativity, and sisterhood that continue to define this journey.”
Over 280 women entrepreneurs from 31 cities across India will bring together a finely curated mix of fashion, lifestyle, craft, cuisine, and sustainable innovation. The line-up spans the spectrum: from handwoven heirlooms by master artisans in remote villages, to chic contemporary labels redefining urban style.
“Our exhibition reflects the unstoppable momentum of women-led businesses in India,” says Rajyalakshmi Rao, President, IMC Ladies’ Wing. “It is a vibrant tapestry of talent, vision, and determination — and we are proud to provide a platform that amplifies these voices and fuels their journey.”
The event’s Afra Lounge will debut this year, spotlighting women entrepreneurs from around the globe – many showcasing in India for the very first time. This infusion of international creativity will complement the rich tapestry of Indian heritage on display.
The exhibition isn’t just about beauty; it’s about meaning. NGOs from Siliguri, Ganeshpuri (Palghar), Sujangarh, and Shekhawati will present handcrafted treasures that preserve centuries-old techniques. Expect intricate weaves, eco-printed textiles, and vegan, eco-conscious brands that speak to today’s sustainability-driven shopper.
“Sustainability is a central theme this year, with a strong presence of vegan and eco-conscious brands, eco-printed textiles, and an environmentally conscious event design that integrates renewable energy, recycling and responsible waste management”, shares Juveca Panda Chheda, Co-Chairperson of the Exhibition Committee.
Beyond the stalls, the culinary section will be a passport to India’s diverse kitchens: think seasonal delicacies from Himachal Pradesh, aromatic spices from the South, and unexpected regional treats waiting to be discovered.
This year’s visual mood board draws from the legendary Raja Ravi Varma, whose evocative portraits of Indian womanhood mirror the spirit of the women behind these ventures – expressive, empowered, and visionary.
Whether you’re hunting for your next festive season statement piece, a meaningful gift, or a taste of India’s artistry, this is where you’ll find it. The 38th edition of the IMC Ladies’ Wing Women Entrepreneurs’ Exhibition will be happening on August 10 and 11, at Jio World Centre.
