Picture this: you walk into a massive exhibition hall in Chennai, expecting to see shiny leather goods, gourmet food stalls, and jazzy decor… and who’s behind all that glamour? Not some invisible magical elves, but Exhicon Events Media Solutions Ltd (BSE: 543895) – the company that’s just bagged a tender from the big daddy of Indian exhibitions, the India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO).
On August 20, 2025, Exhicon officially announced that it has been awarded management of some of the country’s most premier trade fairs, including AAHAR 2025 (the foodie paradise), and the India International Leather Fair 2026 & 2027 (where even your shoes will feel underdressed). Basically, if it’s happening in Chennai, Exhicon is the one laying the carpets, erecting the stalls, and making sure the trash bins don’t look like modern art installations.

Here’s a breakdown of their contract, simplified for the mango man:

- Carpeting & Flooring: Because barefoot on cold cement is not a vibe, they’ll roll out carpets and flooring that meet “international standards” – no “shaadi hall” red carpets here.

- Facility Management: Housekeeping, waste management, manpower – basically making sure no one complains, “Yaar, yeh fair toh mela jaisa lag raha hai.”
Why This Matters
- Recurring Business: With multiple fairs over the next two years, Exhicon gets steady, predictable revenue. For a company in events, that’s like a unicorn sighting.
- South India Presence: Chennai is now firmly on their map. From Delhi’s Pragati Maidan to Chennai Trade Centre, Exhicon is going full “pan-India influencer.”
- Trust Factor: ITPO is India’s apex trade promotion body. Being chosen means Exhicon isn’t just another event contractor – they’re the
