00:00Welcome to the 16th edition of Meet at Agra.

00:17The heartbeat of global footwear technology is right here at Agra's Trade Center, where

00:23over 35 countries and 200 advanced stores converged to showcase the future of the shoe

00:31industry.

00:32The event kicked off with a grand opening ceremony, attended by notable dignitaries

00:37like Rakesh Gill, Chairman of the Small Industries Corporation, and Mukhtarul Aman, Chairman

00:44of the Leader's Sector Skill Council.

00:46Leaders from industries, taxation and MSME joined hands to make this event unforgettable.

00:53We started Meet at Agra in 2007 and the revenue of Agra was only Rs. 700 crores.

01:02Today, the revenue of Agra is more than Rs. 5000 crores.

01:06The domestic industry of Agra, the artisan industry, has upgraded itself.

01:12It is now in an unorganized market.

01:16From a regional gathering to a prestigious international event, this year the focus was

01:24on expanding production capacity and elevating the quality of India's footwear industry

01:30to meet global demands.

01:46The presentation of the stalls was very good.

01:49Good technology, new materials, new developments.

01:53We got to see all that.

01:54This fair is more than just business.

01:57It is about inspiration and collaboration.

02:00From cutting-edge technology to sports, athletic and safety shoes, the event is setting the

02:07stage for India's footwear industry to soar higher than ever.

02:13A world of innovation, craftsmanship and global connection awaits.

02:22We have new machines, machines of new technology.

02:26Machines can do all the work.

02:30By exhibiting here, they can see where they are lacking, what their competition is, what

02:39other people are making, what they don't have, what they should improve, what people

02:44demand.

02:45They can see all this at one place.

02:47There can't be a better platform for them.

02:50Ultimately, their business will also grow.

02:52And those who think, no, what will we do by exhibiting?

02:55It will cost money.

02:56In fact, I think they should think about visiting once.

03:00They should see what people are doing here.

03:02And then they realize that they are also missing it.

03:05They should also come and exhibit here.

03:07The footwear meet brought together a fusion of innovation, craftsmanship and global connections

03:13all under one roof.

03:15It marked a significant step towards a brighter and more dynamic future for the footwear industry.
