The Global Vision Trade Organization (GVTO) proudly hosted the India–Thailand Business Conclave 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand, delivering a premium platform for international commerce, dialogue and collaboration. At the heart of the conclave was the showcase of the Bharat Packaging Expo, presented in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP), celebrating the depth and ambition of India's packaging and manufacturing sectors on a global stage.
Bringing together dignitaries, industry leaders, investors and entrepreneurs, the conclave placed a clear spotlight on packaging innovation, manufacturing excellence and export growth, while advancing the enduring relationship between India and Thailand.
Building International Partnerships
The India–Thailand Business Conclave 2026 was designed as a meeting point for nations, institutions and enterprises. Distinguished guests including Dr. Akshay Shinde, H.E. Korn Dabbaransi, H.E. Sitthipong Vamasiripatt, Ajarn Paul Narula, Mr. Shekhar Amberkar and Mr. Fraser Hawkes lent their insight and leadership to the proceedings, underscoring the conclave's role as a serious forum for building international partnerships. Their collective presence reflected the shared determination of both countries to deepen cooperation across trade, industry and investment.
Bharat Packaging Expo
In collaboration with the Indian Institute of Packaging, the Bharat Packaging Expo formed the centrepiece of the conclave. The showcase presented the strength of India's packaging industry — from sustainable materials and advanced processing to design-led solutions engineered for global markets. For international buyers and partners, the expo offered a compelling window into India's capabilities and its readiness to serve demand across Southeast Asia and beyond.
"When packaging innovation meets cross-border collaboration, industries grow and nations prosper together. The Bharat Packaging Expo is a bridge between India's manufacturing excellence and the world's markets."
Strengthening India–Thailand Relations
The conclave reaffirmed the strong and growing ties between India and Thailand. With the participation of senior dignitaries from both nations, the event championed a vision of long-term, mutually beneficial cooperation. Discussions focused on how the two economies can complement one another — pairing India's manufacturing scale and talent with Thailand's strategic position as a gateway to the ASEAN region.
Packaging Innovation
Packaging innovation was a defining theme throughout the conclave. Presentations and exchanges highlighted the latest developments in sustainable packaging, smart materials and efficient processing technology. By connecting Indian innovators with international stakeholders, GVTO helped surface fresh ideas and practical solutions that can be adopted, refined and scaled across borders.
Investment & Export Growth
A central objective of the conclave was to unlock investment opportunities and accelerate export growth. By convening investors, industry leaders and entrepreneurs in one room, GVTO created the conditions for concrete outcomes — from sourcing partnerships and distribution agreements to longer-term joint ventures. The emphasis remained firmly on transforming dialogue into tangible commercial value for businesses on both sides.
ASEAN Business Collaboration
Beyond the bilateral focus, the conclave advanced the broader agenda of ASEAN business collaboration. Thailand's role as a regional hub made it an ideal setting to explore cross-border collaboration across the wider Southeast Asian market. The connections forged at the event extend GVTO's regional network and open new pathways for trade, cooperation and shared growth throughout the region.
Looking Ahead
As the India–Thailand Business Conclave 2026 concluded, the momentum it generated pointed clearly to the future. The partnerships initiated, the opportunities identified and the relationships strengthened all form the foundation for continued engagement. GVTO remains committed to nurturing these connections and to hosting platforms that turn ambition into enduring international cooperation.
Ultimately, the conclave embodied the very mission that drives GVTO: to connect governments, industries, investors, entrepreneurs and innovators through global trade. By bringing India and Thailand closer together around packaging innovation, manufacturing excellence and shared prosperity, GVTO continues to build the bridges on which the future of international business will stand.
