HOSPITALITY FIRST, market leaders and pioneers of established and successful business trade platforms in the Indian Bakery Industry through BAKERY BUSINESS, a 17-year-old show and the HOTEL RESTAURANT & CATERING BUSINESS, 12-year-old show, has been respected and recognised for observing and monitoring industry trends and transforming it into hugely successful business platforms. We have responded by bringing both these business complementing sectors all under one roof, to incentivize supplier investment, economize supplier budgets and reduce duplicity and bring efficiency in investment at trade shows.
The recently concluded 11th Edition of Horeca Business show 2023 Held Alongside 16th edition Bakery Business at the luxurious Jio World Convention Centre in BKC, Mumbai, proved to be an extraordinary convergence of culinary innovation and hospitality excellence. The expo witnessed over 15,000 business visitors and featured 170+ exhibitors. The event provided a dynamic platform for professionals to explore cutting-edge technology and ingredients, contributing to the reshaping of the industry's future.
We are delighted to announce the forthcoming 12th Edition of Horeca Business. Set to take place on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd of November 2024, this event promises to continue our tradition of excellence and innovation in the culinary and hospitality sectors.
In the ever-evolving landscape of the Indian foodservice and bakery industries, a notable convergence has taken place over the past decade. What once stood as separate domains now harmoniously intertwines, with the boundaries between culinary artistry and baking excellence becoming increasingly blurred.
Despite this natural fusion on the ground, suppliers of HoReCa and bakery equipment and ingredients have historically operated with distinct strategies and trade shows. However, the recent staging of these events together, on the same dates, has proven to be a resounding success, echoing throughout the industry.
This strategic amalgamation not only reflects the changing dynamics of the culinary world but also streamlines resources and fosters collaboration. By uniting professionals and enthusiasts from both sectors under one roof, this combined show celebrates the symbiotic relationship between gastronomy and baking, paving the way for a new era of innovation and excellence.

We are the industry leaders in the space and like to be present at all the interactive platforms where we can showcase our product range to prospective customers. Through our top-of-the-line product range and meaningful interactions with the customers, we want people to ‘Think Coffee, Think Kaapi!’ Hospitality First has given us very good platforms, both in Pune and Hyderabad, to interact with customers and dignitaries and showcase our offerings. We look forward to participating in the future expos of Bakery Business.
We are a 50-year-old company into various equipment for restaurants, bakeries, cafés, food service, etc. We have been exhibiting at the Bakery Business show at different locations and have been associated with Hospitality First for many years. The audience at the South India edition of the Bakery Business 2022 was good and we had many very good customers coming in for equipment procurement and to see what is new in the market. During the show, we did live demos of different products from our range like coffee machines, wood-fired ovens, combi steamer, and other baking products. The demos and our product range were well appreciated by the customers who came not only from Telangana but also from Bengaluru, Kochi, and other regions of south India. We are very happy with the show and would definitely continue to participate with Bakery Business for their future expos.
We first participated with Hospitality First at the Deccan Hospitality Show in Pune in March and got a wonderful response there. Accordingly, we took up a larger space at the Bakery Business, South India 2022 edition, which has been a hugely successful exhibition for us. At Magic Colours and Sugar Shine India, we created a large stall showcasing various range of our products - fondants, colours, sprinkles, glaze, premixes and an unlimited range of our products. We are happy to have got a tremendous response at the show with the right set of audience. Besides the focused local visitors from Hyderabad and Telangana, there was a huge influx of visitors from all around Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh.
Bakery Business, South India 2022 has been a fantastic experience for us at Baker’s Super Mart. The response has been overwhelming and the quality of visitors is very well filtered to include only those who are important to the trade. The B2B aspect of the show has been very well managed and I would like to thank the team of Bakery Business and the organisers for putting together a wonderful show that has given us the perfect business platform.
We are a 12-year-old company that started in 2010 with a non-dairy whip topping. Now we have grown as a brand and are holding a couple of SKUs and catering to the entire country from Kanyakumari in the south to Jammu & Kashmir in the north. It has been a very good experience for us at the Bakery Business, South India 2022 expo. This is the first time we are participating here and we have seen a lot of walk-ins and many new customers interacting. The team has created a wonderful platform for interactions and for us to meet everyone. We are looking forward to participating in the future editions of the Bakery Business expo, not just in the south but everywhere they are present.
We displayed our indigenous range of pizza line set up at the Bakery Business, South India edition 2022 and received a very good response. We have been participating in the shows of Hospitality First for the last 5 years and this exhibition has always helped us. We have got wonderful reviews from the visitors and have been able to attract good customers for our product range. We wish to continue our association with the Bakery Business team by participating in their future expos.
The Hospitality First Show 2019 was a great success and it gave us an opportunity to showcase our immensely creative projects portfolio. It was a wonderful experience to feature our TRANSITIONAL COASTAL THEME HOTEL ROOM and BOOK CAFE Mock-up at the IIID Design Arena. We were amazed to have thousand plus visitors appreciating our highly unique designer concepts. Some of these were serious business opportunities with whom we are working very closely. Looking forward to the next show.
The Bakery Business exhibition saw a great response and we had a lot of visitors at our booth. This was one of the first exhibitions in the post-Covid times in Mumbai. I must say it was very well organised. We saw tremendous response and a lot of footfalls of people coming especially from the bakery segment. I have been participating in exhibitions for the last 12 years and have never seen such kind of excitement within the industry in terms of participation in an exhibition at this level. It has truly given us a very good return on our investment.
We have been in the baking industry for the last 20 years, specialising in industrial bakery. We help our customers to scale up their operations - from artisan to industrial. We work with some of the best companies in Europe for the bread and packaging industry. We are responsible to bring in new technology in India. When we started our business and entered the bakery segment, we started by participating in the Bakery Business show, so we have grown with Bakery Business over the years.
I have come from France to represent Veliche in Mumbai for Damati food. We have been at the food show to present our new SKU – in terms of coverture, we showcased 72 per cent and 54 per cent, and we also presented 35 per cent in milk and 30 per cent in white chocolate. The three days were wonderful and the response from the community here was very good. We had the opportunity to showcase our range to the bakery and hospitality players. We will continue to develop the brand in Mumbai and other parts of India and present all our fantastic offerings.
Displaying our 'Home Away from Home' concept for Hotel Room Mockup at The Hospitality First Show has opened up a new arena for us with enquiries from across the nation for Hospitality projects. We thank IIID Mumbai chapter for encouraging us to participate in this fabulous expo. The Show was very well conceptualised and we wish the entire team at Hospitality First a huge success in years to come.
