India's SMEs Set Sights on Russia & CIS: ITE Group Anchors Strategic Roadshow to Boost Cross-Border Trade

VMPL
New Delhi [India], September 10: In a move poised to reshape India's export ambitions, global exhibition major ITE Group is bringing its strategic international roadshow to India with two high-impact B2B showcases, in Delhi on 10th September and Mumbai on 12th September. Designed to open real-time market access for Indian SMEs into the Russia and CIS corridor, the events will spotlight demand across Pharma, Construction Materials, Interiors, Electronics, and Food & Agriculture, connecting Indian manufacturers to curated global buyers and trade commissioners.
The initiative arrives at a time when India-Russia bilateral trade has crossed USD 68 billion, and supply chain shifts are opening new avenues for Indian manufacturers across pharmaceuticals, construction materials, food processing, interiors, packaging, and electronics. ITE and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) also forecast a surge in business opportunities for BRICS+ nations, with industry growth in Russia alone projected to rise by over 30% by 2030.
"This is more than a trade showcase. It's a signal shift in where the world is heading," said Dmitry Zavgorodniy, CEO of ITE Group.
"India has become a trusted partner across the BRICS+ landscape. Growing demand in Russia and the CIS is creating new opportunities, and Indian SMEs are uniquely equipped to respond. What's needed is clarity, access, and confidence. That's what these roadshows will deliver."
ITE Group, known for hosting over 30 large-scale exhibitions annually across Russia and its neighbouring markets, will use the India roadshows to bring together government representatives, industry bodies, and Indian exporters to share insights on how its exhibitions serve as gateways to connect with buyers in Russia and the CIS.
Among the participating organisations are:
FICCI, FIEO, Chemexcil, NDDB, PHDCCI, Indian Dairy Association, ICIB, and representation from the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Russia India Trade House (Balaji Group), Orient Electric Limited (CK Birla group company) and other relevant chambers.
Each event is designed as a focused evening session featuring curated dialogues, access to trade insights, and direct matchmaking with ITE's international market advisors.
"In fast-growing economies, exploring new markets is natural; sustaining them takes access. We provide both," said Katerina Filunets, General Manager, ITE Dubai.
"Our partnerships with India's leading trade councils allow us to shape these roadshows not just as promotional platforms--but as working hubs for actual trade conversion. That's where our credibility lies."
What's Driving the Momentum:
- India's non-oil exports to Russia have tripled since 2021
- Key sectors facing global demand gaps include pharma, packaging, construction materials, electronics, food processing, and interiors
- ITE's platforms draw over 500,000 business visitors and 10,000+ exhibitors annually
- Tools like ITE Connect, the Group's digital networking platform, extend trade opportunities beyond the physical events
