| Says CMAI's regional committee chairman Satish Mahajan,
"While Bangalore has world class manufacturing facilities and
the capacity to double the employment opportunities in the next five
years, its growth is slowed by poor labor reforms and high input costs
such as taxes on raw materials which make the products more expensive
compared to competing neighboring countries such as China, Sri Lanka
and Bangladesh.
The first evening of the fair will also bring to Bangalore a very
special Fashion Show at the Taj Westend where attractive models
will showcase select innovative garment designs of 12 leading brands.
