Umang 2.0, the jewellery and lifestyle expo being organised by Jain International Trade Organisation (JITO) Hyderabad, was successful in attracting large crowds. This expo has everything on display right from papads to precious diamond jewellery, hair pins to luxury properties, and all branded items like GM switches to Porsche cars.
Over 500 exhibitors are showcasing their jewellery, lifestyle, furniture, automobiles, home decoration products and others at the expo spread over 2 lakh sq ft area in three halls at Hitex. It was formally inaugurated by Rajarshri Shah, Medak District Collector, accompanied by JITO Hyderabad Chairman Sushil Sancheti, Chief Secretary Paresh Shah, and Treasurer BL Bhandari.
‘Colours of India’, a dance drama was performed at the time of inauguration. JITO Hyderabad, the organisers, has roped in Mirajkar band, composed of 50 performers, both men and women from Solapur, Maharashtra, performing on the drums. The visitors were given a surprise by ferrying them in retro, vintage cars such as Rolls-Royce, Jaguar and Audi cars.
On the occasion, Rajarshri Shah said that Umang 2.0 is not just an expo but is a spirit of entrepreneurship and a celebration of success. “The Jain community is traditionally a business community. Business is there in their genes. The Jain community may be less in numbers in terms of population, but their contribution to the GDP is very significant,” he said.
Sushil Sancheti said, “The exhibition is not for just business, but also for motivation and celebration.”
