I have attended the fair earlier and because of my experience at working with India and manufacturers here for soft goods, many companies back in US have been asking for my assistance in connecting with Indian manufacturers. So I am trying to be the connector of US to India. There is always a positive intent and effort behind designs in India, along with purity of making things work and space for determination for amendments and I totally love it.

I have my own brand and am also a supplier for retailers in USA. I am also into product development. Here I am looking for textiles, floor coverings and other textiles related products. I have been in trade with Indian suppliers earlier as well and have been in this show once before. I import 100% of my products from India. I find Indian manufacturers extremely innovative.

At our company, Gardeco, we deal in outdoor products. We have already been buying outdoor rugs and mats from India. Here, I see kind of materials which I can use both indoors and outdoors. I quite like the fair too.
