Mumbai, Aug 18: India‘s gifting industry is set for its biggest stage of the year as Gifts India Expo 2026 returns to the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai, from 20, 21 and 22 August 2026. Now in its 32nd edition, the country’s leading B2B exhibition for corporate, personal and lifestyle gifting will bring together over 250 exhibitors and 700 + brands under one roof for three days of sourcing, launches and business networking. The 2026 edition promises the industry’s most comprehensive line-up yet, spanning luxury, technology, décor, lifestyle, stationery and sustainable gifting.
This year’s floor will feature a striking mix of established leaders and category disruptors, including MODA, Kenneth Cole, United Colors of Benetton, Giordano, boAt, Siyaram’s, Rare Rabbit, Honeywell, Ambrane, Xech, Unix, India Kangaro, Phool, Frido, United, Metro Cash & Carry, Ruchoks and Hapipola. Together, they will offer corporate buyers direct access to premium, personalised and ready-to-scale gifting solutions across every price point. The expo continues to serve as the definitive sourcing platform for buyers across FMCG, IT, Pharma, Hospitality and Retail, connecting manufacturers, brands, distributors and wholesalers with serious decision-makers in a single, high-value marketplace.
The show arrives on the back of strong momentum in the Indian gifting sector, fuelled by rising corporate investment in employee engagement and rewards, the rapid growth of SMEs and startups, and surging demand for premium and personalised gifting. Strategically timed ahead of the festive and Diwali season, the expo gives brands and buyers a crucial window to lock in sourcing decisions for the year’s biggest gifting cycle.
“India‘s gifting sector is in the middle of a remarkable transformation. What was once driven largely by tradition and festive ritual has matured into a dynamic, year-round industry shaped by corporate rewards programmes, the rise of SMEs and startups, conferences, social factors and a clear shift toward more premium, personalised, sustainable and innovative products. Emotion still sits at the heart of gifting in India, but the way brands and buyers respond to it has become far more sophisticated, quality focused and value based. This 32nd edition of Gifts India Expo captures exactly where the industry is heading – towards innovative gifting options, developed by home grown SMEs and start-ups, incorporating technology, décor to luxury and eco-conscious gifting, and reflects the scale and confidence the sector now commands. Gifts India expo is the definitive marketplace for buyers to source their gifting needs and for exhibitors to meet new segment of buyers than they are currently addressing ,” said Umang Gupta, Country Head, RX India.
Building on that industry momentum, the 2026 edition has been designed to give buyers a sharper, more hands-on sourcing experience across three action-packed days.
“Gifts India Expo 2026 is our most comprehensive edition to date, bringing more than 250 exhibitors and over 700 brands together under one roof. We have built this show to give corporate buyers direct, face-to-face access to manufacturers, distributors and premium brands across every category and price point, all in a single, high-value marketplace. Beyond sourcing, visitors can expect live product launches, trend spotlights and genuine networking with decision-makers from across India and overseas. Timed just ahead of the festive and Diwali season, the three days at the Bombay Exhibition Centre offer the industry a crucial window to lock in the year’s most important gifting decisions,” said Sandeep Kumar, Event Director, Gifts India Expo.
