Turkish craftsmanship sets the benchmark for design and quality at India International Furniture Fair

The fourth edition of the India International Furniture Fair (IIFF), organized by EFEEXIM, managed by Trescon, supported by the Association of Furniture Manufacturers & Traders (AFMT), and association partners KreateCube & New Timber Market Dealers Association (Regd), set the stage for international brands to enter the Indian market.

The three-day exclusive furniture exhibition provided a wonderful chance for national brands to gain global exposure while also presenting premium Turkish brands to the Indian market.

Ercan Guzel, CEO, Modelin and Chairperson of Antakya Furniture, shares his views on the Indian furnishing market, “There are a total of 40 members in this group. The Antakya association exports furniture all over the world. In India, their products are designed first and foremost for the local market. Visitors praised Modelin’s design and products today. People come to India’s open market to buy products for their homes, not for business-to-business transactions. We expect more products to be exported to India as a group, as a company and as individuals from this fair, and we also hope to expand the Turkish furniture industry in the Indian market.”

The IIFF proved not just the biggest and most-prestigious furniture trade fair in India, but also the most-awaited one. Visitors were offered a unique chance to discover more than 50 international-standard brands all under one roof. Additionally, visitors were introduced to recently released products and innovations in the furniture industry.

Oguz Gurdamar, Chairman of EFEEXIM FZE, on his association with Trescon, “This has been a very long journey for us in the Indian market. We have been on this journey since 2015. We conducted three editions after EFEEXIM and Trescon staged the inaugural event in Mumbai in 2017. After that, we noticed that we had a lot of visitors from Delhi, so we made the decision to come to Delhi and showcase our innovations. The initial phase in Delhi has been wonderful. Markets have shown appreciation, and from what I can tell, our people are thrilled to be in this position right now.”

IIFF also played a major role in laying the foundation and developing trade ties between Turkey and India. By connecting the reputable and top-tier furniture producers in Turkey with the quickly expanding market in India. Additionally, Turkey’s tourism and hospitality industries are projected to grow because of this surge in Indian furniture demand.

“IIFF helped the Indian consumer receive market previews from veterans in their respective fields. It also provided a great platform to understand the changing dynamics of the market and how best one can capitalize on these dynamics to their benefit. IIFF helped provide a great venue to evaluate potential business prospects and collaborations between two thriving nations. We would like to thank all our Partners & Supporting Associations for making this event a reality and helping us bridge the gap between multiple countries for their furniture business,” Mithun Shetty, CEO, Trescon.

The event was supported by:

The 39th global edition of World AI Show, held in Mumbai, had a significant impact on the future of the Indian AI ecosystem. Leading Indian tech mavens convened at The Leela in Mumbai to discuss how AI, ML, IA & Robotics will be adopted by Indian businesses in the coming years.

The consensus was that AI would be the main technology driving enterprises through Digital Transformation.

Rucha Nanavati, CIO, Mahindra Group, responded to a question regarding the role of AI in the metaverse during the Tactical to Transformative discussion, and said, “AI can render accurate and realistic avatars in the metaverse and helps get much closer to reality while promoting creative partnership. The second thing would be AI Ops; Metaverse is resource intensive and for scalability, it heavily relies on AI. AI also facilitates human-computer interaction thus aiding content generation and enhancing interaction in the metaverse experience.” Sharing her thoughts on the panel discussion, she added, “It was an excellent discussion on AIOps, AI at scale, ethical AI, and applicable AI. Benefits are real and so are the challenges. The conversations brought out a lot of learning for all of us.”

The panel discussion ‘Conversational AI’ had some riveting insights on technology’s larger impact in complementing and augmenting human capabilities. The panelists emphasized on solutions powered by conversational AI, which are paving the way for improving the overall experience (TX) to generate transformative business results.

Aman was quoted saying, “Conversational AI will play an important role in the future of customer engagement. Driven by ever-increasing customer expectations, it has become paramount for businesses to implement a round-the-clock easily scalable solution that can only be supported by machine learning tools. Currently we are at the precipice of chatbot and voicebot technology, with research and new developments in natural language processing and emotional intelligence emerging every day to simulate human-like conversations. We envision a future where AI-enabled support will become a fundamental process in customer engagement, acting as the initial point of contact between a customer and the business. This does not mean that the customer engagement segment will become completely automated by AI. Companies that find the right synergy between human and AI interactions will lead the way in offering successful engagement and support.”
