Exim Bazaar, an exhibition-cum-sale handmade arts and crafts of India curated by India Exim Bank, comes back after a hiatus of almost two years due to the pandemic. Many artisans and rural enterprises suffered a loss in income due to the lockdown and COVID-related restrictions, as the sales from exhibitions and retail channels became limited.India Exim Bank continued its handholding support by way of design, product, and educative workshops for the artisans during this period. As the restrictions are coming down and the Government’s vaccination drive going in full strength, the return of such exhibitions will provide a platform for the artisans to bounce back as well as revival of their arts.It should be noted that all COVID-related protocol will be strictly followed at the Exim Bazaar.
The Exim Bazaar is organised by the India Exim Bank with an objective to boost business prospects for many individual artisans as well as micro & grassroots enterprises. The exhibition provides wider visibility and brand promotion for the artisans to market their products. This gives them access to direct customers and generate future sales leads, as well as understanding consumer preferences, improve industry knowledge and discover latest trends.
