The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) will be holding the third edition of the INDIA SAARC-Middle East International Buyer Seller Meet (BSM) in Hyderabad from 29th April – 1st May 2018.

This BSM is intended for the participation for those from the plain gold jewellery and diamond studded jewellery sectors.  

The India SAARC-ME represents a  huge business opportunity for the Indian gem and jewellery businesses, particularly as the jewellery consumers in the Middle East and South Asia have similar preferences and tastes for jewellery as those in India. Hence, there is an immense potential for trade between the regions.

In the last few years, the Council has been making strenuous efforts to strengthen its bilateral trade relationship with the ME and various South Asian countries, which was reflected in the buyer attendance from these countries in the GJEPC’s key shows like the IIJS and IIJS Signature.

“This initiative aims to offer a gateway to a huge potential market, which will further boost the bilateral investment and trade opportunities with a fresh vigour,” the GJEPC said.

Buyers from the following countries will be  invited to participate in the forthcoming BSM: Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, Lebanon, Sri-Lanka, Singapore, Dubai, UK, USA, Nepal, Malaysia.

It is envisaged that there will be about 50 exhibitors and about 80-90 hosted buyers  attending the meet. The buyers attending the BSM will include jewellery retailers, senior representatives from chain stores, wholesalers, traders etc.

The INDIA SAARC ME International Buyer Seller Meet has been planned so as to include    Buyer Seller interaction as well as an open exhibition. Pre-fixed one-on-one meetings for approximately 30 minutes will be scheduled between the buyer and seller on the first two  days and the open exhibition will be held on the third day of the event. 

Buyers are being offered economy air tickets and transfers; hotel accommodation with complimentary breakfast (one room per company); lunch, dinner and refreshments during the event; networking opportunity during the Gala Evening. 

“The BSM’s Buyer-Seller matching is the key initiative to recommend exhibitors to buyers based on their sourcing needs, ensuing effective business meetings at the event,” the GJEPC said. “The Buyer-Seller matching is immediately activated as soon as the buyer registers for the BSM and they fill in the series of profile questions with regard to products and services they are looking to source at the BSM.”
