MOSCOW. Sept 20 (Interfax) - The exhibit India Show 2014, which will be held in Moscow on September 24-26 and in which representatives of over eighty Indian companies will participate, will give the businessmen of both countries a good opportunity to study the possibilities for mutually profitable cooperation, Indian Ambassador to Russia Pundi Srinivasan Raghavan said.

"The India Show in Crocus Expo Hall Moscow from September 24 to 26 will showcase products and services from more than 80 Indian companies from various sectors including pharmaceuticals, leather, engineering, chemicals, textile, apparels and agro-products. The objective is to help Russian and Indian entrepreneurs to recognize the tremendous business opportunities and provide an impetus to bilateral trade," the Indian ambassador said.

"This show will give a platform for business-to-business meetings and presentations on trade and investment opportunities. A number of sectoral workshops are being held - on pharmaceuticals, banking, leather industry, etc. We will have a special focus on our Prime Minister's "Make in India" initiative - an invitation to all foreign entrepreneurs and industries to make India their manufacturing hub. This should be of special interest to Russian industry," the diplomat said.

"We have invited officials and business representatives of all regions of Russia to visit India Show and to interact with India business representatives. Two regions - Samara and Yaroslavl will make presentations at the Show of opportunities for economic collaborations with their regions," he said.
