Mumbai, August 2026: For six decades, the IMC Ladies’ Wing has been at the forefront of empowering women, nurturing entrepreneurship, and creating platforms that transform aspirations into successful enterprises. As the Wing celebrates its Diamond Jubilee year, it proudly presents the 39th edition of the Women Entrepreneurs’ Exhibition, to be held on 25th and 26th August 2026 at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai.
Over the past 39 years, the Exhibition has grown into one of India’s most prestigious platforms for women-led businesses. More than an exhibition, it is a vibrant ecosystem where ideas take shape, collaborations are forged, and women entrepreneurs are empowered to flourish.
Theme 2026: “Bees and the Hive”
This year’s theme, “Bees and the Hive”, beautifully captures the spirit of the IMC Ladies’ Wing’s journey:
- One bee begins the journey. Together, they build a hive where extraordinary things happen.
- Every woman entrepreneur contributes her unique vision, creativity, and determination to a larger ecosystem of enterprise.
- The hive symbolizes community, mentorship, collaboration, and shared success.
Aligned with the Presidential theme “Multiplying Impact”, the Exhibition celebrates women as natural multipliers of knowledge, connections, and influence, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond individual journeys.
Ms. Anita Chouhan, President, IMC Ladies’ Wing: “Together, ‘Bees and the Hive’ and ‘Multiplying Impact’ represent the spirit of the IMC Ladies’ Wing. Just as every bee strengthens the hive, every woman entrepreneur strengthens our ecosystem through collaboration, mentorship, innovation, and shared success. This year’s Exhibition promises to be our most vibrant edition yet, bringing together over 300 women entrepreneurs from across India.”
