"I feel very happy and proud to attend such an occasion. Through such events, I aim to supply a robust platform to sellers and entrepreneurs’ booths aside from showcasing business opportunities available in India. The event would be providing a platform for one-to-one interaction between the entrepreneurs of the North-East and global buyers. I’m sure that the two-day event will fulfill our mission and vision.” said Gopesh Khandelwal, CEO - The Asian Bamboo Co.
“The highlights of the meet include strengthening the export ecosystem; build and enhance the technical know-how; strengthen managerial capacities and business acumen; Develop knowledge ecosystems and preserve the indigenous wisdom of local communities. The sectors which focused on the meet were Agriculture, Medicinal Plants & Herbal Products, Handloom & Handicrafts, Bamboo and Textiles. North East is extremely rich in biodiversity and agriculture and horticulture products alongside tea, and handloom, and handicraft are the foremost important strength. The Covid pandemic has negatively impacted the planet’s economy but in recent times, the Indian economy is recovering very fast. This is often the primary initiative taken by the UNDP for the foreign and domestic trade of the North East, alongside the neighboring countries. The geopolitical interest overshadowed the trade matters but now we should always return to the past and redraw the map and facilitate this trend of meeting to make an economy,” he said.
It was an auspicious event where handloom, handicraft, and agro product manufacturers, as well as buyers and retailers, interacted with each other discussing the solutions for the challenges.

He further explains that starting a business with diverse ideas at such young age was proven a boon to him as it gave him enough space to tackles hurdles one by one and any mistakes that are made, don’t affect as much as they would later. This is in the same line as his venture belief in creating opportunity rather than wait for one.
