The IMC Ladies’ Wing marked a historic milestone by hosting the 38th edition of its Women Entrepreneurs’ Exhibition for the first time in Hyderabad at the Novotel Hyderabad Convention Centre.

Addressing the gathering, IMC Ladies’ Wing President Rajyalakshmi Rao said, “My presidential theme is ‘Evolve to Excel’ – a belief that true growth comes from continuously adapting, learning, and rising higher. This exhibition embodies that very spirit.” She highlighted the journey of the exhibition from its roots in Mumbai nearly four decades ago to its expansion across India.
With over 100 curated stalls, the exhibition offered a vibrant display of craftsmanship and contemporary design, attracting enthusiastic visitors and making the Hyderabad debut a resounding success.
