Building a Scalable Infrastructure-Led Growth Platform

Exhicon Events Media Solutions is strategically positioning itself at the intersection of India's rapidly growing MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions), tourism, exhibitions and convention infrastructure sectors through a diversified integrated platform model. The company operates across exhibitions, conventions, event infrastructure, aviation logistics, religious tourism, media and integrated business services. Its long-term growth strategy is increasingly anchored around Venue As A Service (VAS), convention infrastructure development, integrated venue operations, event ecosystems and recurring infrastructure-linked business opportunities.

As part of its expansion strategy, the company is developing and participating in multiple large-scale purpose-built event and convention infrastructure projects. Key initiatives include:

India's MICE & Infrastructure Growth Opportunity

India's MICE industry is projected to grow from approximately USD 49.4 billion in 2024 to over USD 103 billion by 2030, representing a strong projected CAGR of nearly 13.2%, making India one of the fastest-growing MICE markets globally. India currently accounts for only around 5% of the global USD 850 billion MICE market, creating a significant long-term opportunity for organised venue infrastructure, exhibitions and convention ecosystem players. The Indian MICE tourism market is also expected to grow at an estimated CAGR of nearly 12% through 2031, supported by rising corporate travel, large-scale convention infrastructure creation, global events participation and government initiatives such as "Meet in India".

Simultaneously, India has emerged as the world's fifth-largest aviation market with approximately 241 million air passengers annually, highlighting the rapid expansion of business mobility, tourism and inter-city connectivity that directly supports growth in conventions, exhibitions and destination-led event infrastructure. The sector is further benefiting from substantial investments into convention centres, integrated exhibition venues, religious tourism circuits, smart cities, multimodal logistics and destination infrastructure. With a strengthened balance sheet, expanding infrastructure portfolio and growing execution capabilities, the company remains focused on sustainable growth, disciplined capital allocation and long-term shareholder value creation.

Exhicon Events Media Solutions Limited has entered into a strategic partnership charter with ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company Limited on April 30, 2026, to strengthen the exhibition risk ecosystem across India's exhibitions and trade fairs industry. The collaboration aims to advance awareness, adoption, and integration of exhibition insurance as a critical enabler for sustainable growth in the increasingly complex exhibitions sector.

Strategic Partnership Framework

The partnership positions Exhicon Events Media Solutions Limited at the forefront of creating a risk-aware and professionally governed exhibition ecosystem that aligns with global best practices. As India's exhibitions industry witnesses increasing scale, complexity, and stakeholder participation, risk preparedness and continuity planning have emerged as essential components for sustainable development.

Value Creation and Business Impact

The strategic collaboration is designed to create multiple value streams through enhanced platform positioning and ecosystem integration. The partnership framework focuses on four key areas that will strengthen Exhicon's market position while supporting industry-wide improvements.

Collaboration Scope and Implementation

Under the partnership charter, Exhicon will leverage its comprehensive infrastructure including venues, media platforms, and industry reach to drive awareness, education, and adoption of exhibition insurance as a best practice. The company's extensive network will serve as the foundation for promoting risk management solutions across the exhibitions ecosystem.

ICICI Lombard will contribute domain expertise, relevant insurance solutions, and support ecosystem education through insights and simplified engagement frameworks. This combination of Exhicon's market presence and ICICI Lombard's insurance expertise creates a comprehensive approach to risk management in the exhibitions sector.

Revenue and Growth Opportunities

The partnership charter opens up adjacent opportunities over the medium to long term, creating new revenue streams and business development pathways:

• Potential integration-led service offerings
• Ecosystem-led monetization opportunities
• Enhanced partner-led value creation across company platforms

These opportunities align with Exhicon's broader strategy of integrated ecosystem solutions, strengthening its long-term growth prospects and market positioning within the exhibitions industry.

Industry Leadership and Market Position

The signing ceremony in Mumbai was attended by key executives from both organizations, including Ms. Padma Mishra, Whole Time Director of Exhicon Events Media Solutions Limited, Mr. Anand Singh, CDO Retail & Government of ICICI Lombard, Mr. M.Q. Syed, Chairman and Managing Director of Exhicon Events Media Solutions Limited, and Mr. Anurag Choudhary, Head SME Agency ICICI Lombard.
