GES EMEA has officially launched local exhibition services for clients in India, strengthening its global footprint. Leading this initiative is Pranay Chandran, newly appointed Head of Operations and Business Development, who aims to deliver more personalized support through in-depth local expertise.
First Local Show Delivered in Delhi:
The newly established India team successfully delivered its first show in February, supporting Informa’s Delhi Jewellery and Gem Fair in New Delhi. The services provided encompassed GES Show Ready stands, dedicated conference areas, and networking lounges, demonstrating their capabilities in the Indian market.

This expansion into India follows GES EMEA’s recent ventures into France, Germany, and Qatar, reinforcing the company’s commitment to closer client collaboration worldwide. In India, GES is now offering comprehensive local support, including sustainable stand solutions that align with its global Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) objectives.
