TESTIMONIALS (EXHIBITORS) Exhibitors who participated in the event too expressed great satisfaction over the opportunity to mingle with their counterparts and peers from the fraternity. Lokesh Gupta, Director, Green Brrew Coffee, ASSOCIATE SPONSOR Last year (2016) we had booked a small stall to test the impact offered by this expo and we were thrilled with the response. This year we became the Associate Sponsor since we believe that leading industry players should support this mega event which is ultimately going to take the Tea & Coffee sectors to greater heights. WTCE is one of the contributing factors to our spectacular growth. The additional branding across the venue and across various media channels plus the PR support we received from the organizers created just the right impact we were endeavoring to establish. Mr Nikunj Goyal, Amchong Tea Estate It was our second time at this amazing event which gathers the industry like no one else. Keeping the focus on B2B makes it a unique platform for the Tea & Coffee industry to network and do business. We have received a number of enquiries for our packeting and private labeling units. This platform is certainly ideal for regional players who want to expand their business operations across the country and even globally. Mr Vijay Sanghvi, Shreeji Screen and Filters P Ltd Our national expansion ambitions have got a major boost after we participated in this expo as we have received a number of agency / distributorship requests for our Nylon tea bags. The World Tea Coffee Expo is ideal marketing platform especially for Small & Medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Mumbai is a city of dreams and our presence at this Expo at Mumbai certainly helped us realize our dreams of expanding our footprint to other parts of the country. Continued

Mr Sanjay Gupta, Budwhite Teas P Ltd We participated in this expo for the fourth year in a row. And it keeps getting better and better.

The quantum of enquiries received even from smaller towns and cities - has been an eye-opener for us. It was relevant for all players, from small to large. It is a brilliant platform for networking, learning new concepts, and understanding direction towards which Tea and Coffee industry is heading. We shall continue our thrust in the Indian markets through participating in the future editions of this Expo. Mr Madhusudan Murarka, Ilam Tea Producers P Ltd, Nepal Tea from Nepal and Darjeeling can really make a mark in the world since both the regions are neighboring each other. For this we need more events like the World Tea & Coffee Expo which go a long way in creating awareness globally. As the largest tea producer of Nepal, we hope to see this expo being organized at international locations outside India also. Being an exhibitor or a visitor at all the editions of World tea & Coffee Expo, I can say that the expo is growing steadily and has the potential to become one of the largest in Asia.
