A polite and soft-spoken man, Sumit Gandhi inherited an austere world of B2B conventions and old values at a young age of 27. Initiated into the exhibition industry by chance rather than a plan, he took to this industry like a fish takes to water. Despite his background as a qualified Chartered Accountant and a stint in the banking sector, he has nevertheless successfully steered the company, embedded in a then underdeveloped industry, into a new indigenous brand of focused expos that had hitherto been uncharted or dominated by unorganized players.
