Surat played host to the national-level Being Exporter Grand Meet, bringing together leading exporters to boost exports, particularly in the wake of the United States (US) levying a 50% tariff on the Indian products.
The event brought together 225 exporters and aspiring exporters from across India, united by the goal of expanding the reach of “Make in India” products in international markets.
Participants reported business connections spanning over 90 countries, representing industries from rubber, plastics, chemicals and pharmaceuticals to nutraceuticals, agro products and engineering goods.
The exporters are now seeking new strategies, markets and partnerships to mitigate the impact of the steep United States (US) tariff increase on the Indian products.
Bhagirath Goswami, Founder of Being Exporter said, “The grand meet was not a networking event, but a strategic response to the constantly changing global trade environment. The diversity of industries present at the meeting proves that India has the capacity and the capability to lead in multiple sectors, even in challenging conditions.”
The participants exchanged market intelligence, explored alternative markets and discussed ways to strengthen India’s position in emerging and established markets. The Grand Meet also served as a platform for forging international collaborations and reinforcing India’s commitment to being a reliable global supplier.
The meet concluded with the participants pledging to expand their global footprint, strengthen buyer relationships, and continue driving the nation’s export growth despite external factors.
