Firstly, I would like to wish you a happy, prosperous and success filled 2016.

Informative, Innovative and Inspirational: The India edition of the world’s most important trade fair on IT and ICT, was not just well attended and applauded by the industry but truly encapsulated ‘The Business Of Technology’ - with engaging exhibits, power displays from partner states, special features, partner events and the respected CeBIT Global Conferences program.

10,091 business visitors from various industry verticals joined us at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), over 3 days. Buyers, CeBIT Executive Club (VVIP invitees) members, delegates and media were treated to an eclectic mix of technology exhibits, mentor talks, presentations by startups, industry round-tables and panel discussions.

The CeBIT Executive Club programme is delighted to have welcomed over 279 power CXOs across industries that enjoyed exclusive masterclasses on leadership and healthcare and winners of the 1st ever CIO Recognition Series co-produced by CeBIT and a power-jury of senior industry CIOs – The Digital Transformational Leaders Recognition Series. This recognition series in itself, saw participation from over 124 CIOs from across the country, as we felicitated 30 winning ‘Digital Transformers’ at CeBIT INDIA.

CeBIT Global Conferences (CGC) got off to a flying start with the central government’s Digital India vision being the major plank of discussion. 82 speakers participated in the keynotes and panel discussions across three days. Transformational leaders and visionaries from government and various industries opened doors for better business and relations while creating the platform for pertinent discussions about the key drivers of The Digtial Future Of India.

As we draw curtains on the 2nd edition of CeBIT in India, it gives me immense pride to dedicate this success to all stakeholders-exhibitors, visitors & team HMFI. We’re ecstatic as we move into a new year with new perspectives and a renowned vision of Digital Transformation! The team and I welcome you to our 3rd edition in December 2016, as we celebrate the future of digital – powered by ‘Technology Innovation’, from 8th to 10th December at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, Bangalore.
