The IMC Ladies’ Wing is set to host the 39th edition of its Women Entrepreneurs’ Exhibition on August 25 and 26, 2026, at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. The two-day exhibition will bring together more than 300 women entrepreneurs, offering them a platform to showcase their businesses, connect with customers and explore new collaborations. The event is organized by the Ladies’ Wing of the IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which describes the exhibition as one of its major annual initiatives supporting women entrepreneurs.

The 2026 edition will be centered on the theme “Bees and the Hive,” highlighting the importance of community, collaboration, mentorship and shared success among women entrepreneurs. The theme reflects the idea that individual women contribute their skills, creativity and ideas to create a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem. It is also aligned with the Presidential theme “Multiplying Impact,” which focuses on the ability of women to expand their influence through knowledge-sharing, connections and collaboration.

Key Highlights:

• 300+ women entrepreneurs will showcase businesses across fashion, lifestyle, crafts, wellness and more
• “Bees and the Hive” will focus on collaboration, mentorship and shared success
• Sustainability and inclusion will be highlighted through green initiatives, NGOs, social enterprises and FDCI collaboration

Women entrepreneurs will showcase their products in the exhibition under various categories like fashion and lifestyle, artisanal crafts, home decor, gourmet products, wellness, and other innovative products. The exhibition is planned to enable the ladies entrepreneurs, especially those in the initial stages, to display and sell their products and to have access to local and international markets, according to the IMC Ladies' Wing.

The exhibition will also be the occasion to highlight the theme of sustainability and responsible entrepreneurship. The event will showcase companies that are developing products that are more environmentally friendly, renewable energy, recycling and other green projects. The organizers are also championing inclusivity with opportunities for NGOs and social enterprises to get involved.

The 2026 exhibition will also partner with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) to give a platform to the upcoming female fashion designers and entrepreneurs. The partnership is expected to further enhance the event's emphasis on fashion and design and to boost the visibility of new businesses.

The Women Entrepreneurs' Exhibition has become an established platform for women entrepreneurs. The exhibition began in 1987 and has expanded quite a bit since its inception. Recently, Mumbai Mirror reported that the platform now features over 280 entrepreneurs from 31 cities and around 24,000 participants attended the edition 2025 over the 2-day period.

IMC Ladies' Wing's 39th edition is designed to further consolidate its position to create an environment for women entrepreneurs to display their products, establish business relationships and help each other. The 2026 exhibition will be an amalgamation of entrepreneurship, collaboration and sustainability, while maintaining the organization’s ongoing focus on women-led enterprise.
