The trade shows have two primary objectives: to provide a world-class platform for small industries and to showcase Uttar Pradesh’s crafts, cuisine, and culture. Kumar noted that while many Indian brands are making waves internationally, Uttar Pradesh still lacks a distinctive brand identity. He highlighted the need for aggressive marketing to tap into external markets and generate more revenue.

He highlighted orders received by local businesses, including a ₹5 crore order for jute bag makers. Kumar reiterated the government's commitment to creating a substantial market for MSME products, aligning with CM Yogi Adityanath’s vision for transforming Uttar Pradesh into a trillion-dollar economy.
