New international platform

PetBridge will take place from 25 to 26 November at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (NESCO) in Mumbai and aims to bring together leading Indian and global companies for two days to focus on business development, strategic exchange and industry-wide insights. The event aims to reflect the scale and ambitions of the country’s growth and provide a professional environment where the Indian market can gain direct access to international expertise, new trends and new business opportunities.

Born out of a collaboration between BolognaFiere Group, the organiser of Zoomark, and Inspira BridgeEvents Pvt Ltd, led by Vicky Menezes, who has designed platforms such as CMPL Expo India, PetBridge combines international trade fair expertise with in-depth market knowledge from India.

‘India is experiencing one of the most dynamic growth cycles in the global pet sector, and PetBridge offers a valuable opportunity to build strong commercial and cultural links between markets,’ explains Luisa Bersanetti, Exhibition Director of Zoomark. ‘Our goal is to contribute to this development by bringing our international expertise to a platform based on the needs and potential of the Indian industry.’ Representing the Indian partnership, Vicky Menezes, founder of Inspira Bridge Events and show director of PetBridge, emphasises the growing demand for a unified industry platform. ‘The Indian pet industry is in a crucial growth phase, driven by changing consumer behaviour, increasing premiumisation and a rapidly maturing supplier ecosystem.’

PetBridge will offer a series of lectures, panel discussions and workshops addressing key industry topics. On both days, the trade fair will provide a special environment for sourcing, market information, commercial development and industry-wide collaboration.
