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.
