Bengaluru, Friday, February 20, 2024: India’s most influential fashion business event — India Fashion Forum (IFF) — is set for its 23rd edition on the 21st and 22nd of February at the Conrad Bengaluru.

Chaired by Shailesh Chaturvedi, MD & CEO, Arvind Fashions Ltd, IFF 2024 will be taking a bold look at some of the challenges impacting profitable growth for the business of fashion in India, including talent crunches, supply chain bottlenecks and excessive discounting.

Join me on February 21-22 at the Conrad Bengaluru for India Fashion Forum 2024. Together, we can make the Fashion Business Great Again.”
