It is predicted that these two industries will contribute extensively to the Indian economy. The evolving trends in Indian Weddings are opening doors for new players based in India and abroad!
Sebnem Mardini, the Owner/Managing Director at Sebnem Event and Designs

fitting the traditional Indian frameworks as well. This means that weddings organized in India will
have more international aspects, entertainment, and guests. Also, we already see more Indian couples
impressing their guests with celebrations in international settings. Starting with the very wealthy
Indian Weddings, we now also see more affordable versions of international weddings starting to take
place.”Also, commenting on the promising MICE business in India, Major Nitesh Kala, Associate Vice President
