Chairman, Council for Leather Exports (CLE)
“India’s footwear and leather sector has been built over decades by manufacturers, exporters and skilled professionals who understand quality, consistency, and global trade. This industry has earned trust across markets through workmanship, reliability and the ability to respond to changing buyer expectations.
BFLEX is a platform to bring that strength forward. It gives India’s footwear and leather industry the opportunity to present its depth, strengthen international connections and create new pathways for trade.
India brings together a strong combination of manufacturing scale, skilled craftsmanship, technical expertise and category depth. From footwear and leather goods to components, materials and allied industries, the breadth of India’s manufacturing ecosystem gives buyers the opportunity to explore diverse sourcing requirements in one market. Today, buyers are looking beyond cost alone and seeking the right balance of quality, flexibility, reliability and supply capability.
BFLEX provides an important setting for this exchange. By bringing manufacturers, exporters, suppliers, buyers and sourcing teams together, it creates opportunities for businesses to present their capabilities and for buyers to understand the strength behind the products they source. Through stronger business connections and meaningful trade conversations, BFLEX can help Indian businesses engage with new markets and build relationships that support the continued growth of India’s footwear and leather industry.“
