Business etiquette
English is widely used in Indian business; exchange business cards, use titles and surnames until invited otherwise. Namaste or a handshake is common. Meetings can start with informal conversation before the agenda.
Dress
Smart business casual is usual at trade fairs; choose lightweight fabrics for April heat. Carry a light jacket for air-conditioned halls and comfortable shoes for long show days.
Food and water
Drink bottled or filtered water, choose freshly cooked food, and avoid ice from street vendors if you are sensitive. Vegetarian options are widely available in Delhi restaurants and hotels.

Nonstop domestic samples captured for planning: Mumbai (BOM) from INR 12,372, Bengaluru (BLR) from INR 15,966, Madurai (IXM) from INR 20,087; these were sampled on other date pairs and April 2027 fares will differ. Book early for the 21-23 April 2027 window, especially if you need flexible tickets. International travellers should allow time for immigration and baggage before the Airport Express or taxi transfer.
