Eight pavilions, one Bharat
Not which state. How India wins the next one.
Eight regions stand on one floor: Andhra Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Telangana. Each brings its own policy, cities, institutions and kitchen. None is ranked here. A company choosing India chooses among them in conversation, with a Navigator, and often chooses more than one.

The pavilions appear in alphabetical order, here and everywhere on this site. Every pavilion page follows the same order and is held to the same length, so that each region is read on equal terms.

Our working plan. It may change.
Eight pavilions are planned for the first edition. State participation is by invitation and is being confirmed, and each pavilion page shows the status of its delegation. Facts on these pages come from each region’s published policies and from named reports. Each delegation will be invited to review its page.
The first edition has room for eight pavilions. India is larger than eight, and later editions are meant to be too.
