Shapes participated in Aakar Expo 2026, held from 19–22 August at the India Expo Mart, Greater Noida — one of the country's key trade platforms for the hospitality, HORECA and events industry, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers and buyers from across the sector.
Over the course of the four-day exhibition, a curated selection from the tableware, cutlery and hospitality essentials range was presented, including premium serveware, chafing solutions and finely finished dining accessories developed for professional hospitality use. Each piece on display reflected a continued emphasis on precision craftsmanship, durable finishes and functional design suited to the demanding operational needs of hotels, restaurants and event businesses.
The exhibition served as an important touchpoint for direct engagement with the industry, offering the opportunity to interact with hoteliers, restaurateurs, procurement professionals and event specialists, and to gain valuable insight into current sourcing priorities, design preferences and the broader shifts shaping hospitality service standards. These conversations offered a clearer understanding of the practical challenges faced by businesses across the dining and hospitality landscape, informing product development going forward.
In line with the brand philosophy — Shaping Your Experiences — the platform served as a reminder of the commitment to building solutions rooted in real operational needs, rather than design for its own sake. This client-first approach continues to guide product strategy, from material selection to finish and functional detailing.
Participation in Aakar Expo 2026 also helped strengthen relationships with existing trade partners and establish new connections within the hospitality supply chain, further expanding presence across the HORECA and events segment.
Continued participation in leading industry exhibitions and trade platforms remains a priority, as these engagements are essential to staying aligned with the evolving needs of the hospitality sector. We look forward to continuing this engagement at future editions of Aakar Expo and other industry events.
