New Delhi : From the beginning, Clyde Daniels has been a guy with a purpose. Archinet, an IP of Riverstone Networking Services, recently hosted the third edition of an exhibition in Mumbai, and it was a huge success, thanks in large part to his many years of expertise working in the exhibition industry.
The Exclusive Expo included 23 premium brands from the Building Materials and Architectural Product Manufacturing Industries. The recent Archinet conference in Mumbai’s JW Marriott Hotel Sahar. The third edition did better than the first two. There were 150 invited architects and interior designers.
By providing an Intersectional framework for Network Enhancement, International Market Intelligence, and Business Development, Archinet is a networking event to which all Expo. architects and interior designers are personally invited.
It’s worth noting that before Mr. Clyde Daniels began planning, curating, and executing the event, he assembled an advisory council to offer advice on logistics, design, and execution.
Along with Ar. Ahmed Shaikh, who served as both curator and advisory board member, the core team of Archinet also included the architects Premnath, Chandrashekhar Kanetkar, Nitin Killawala, Saurabh Chatterjee, Lakshmi Govekar, Milind Pai, Prashant Sutaria, Aslam Kadri, and Kavita Talib.
Archinet, of note, did not debut until the year 2022. On March 3, 2022, the JW Marriott Juhu hosted the inaugural Archinet conference. In its first iteration, this Luxurious Expo attracted only 14 brands and about 100 architects and interior designers. On June 9 of that same year, 2022, The Ritz Carlton in Bangalore hosted the second annual Luxurious Expo.
The participants’ feedback on both Archinet versions was positive. Archinet’s mission is to reimagine networking altogether. Our goal is to host gatherings that are both more intimate and well-researched than the typical “trade show” format, bringing together key decision-makers and consumers in the architecture and design industries. Archinet embodies our commitment to advancing the state-of-the-art in Green Architecture, construction, and infrastructure.
The third Archinet even included an Awards Ceremony to round off the event. Participating brands and members of the distinguished advisory board were honoured in the following subfields.

Talking about launching Riverstone Networking Services as part of the exhibition sector in 2019, Mr. Clyde Daniels said, “I have also been the Director of one of the leading exhibitors in the industry, where I worked for approximately 18 months. While working there, I understood the dynamics of the business, and later I started something of my own. Before this, I was also part of the movie-related exhibition sector, where I worked as the National Sales Head with INOX and Cinemax. I was part of the movie exhibition industry for almost 10 years. From film exhibitions to building and construction-related exhibition sectors, I have had a long journey in where I learnt a lot. The Building Materials & Manufacturing Industries gave me the opportunity to conceptualize various kinds of exhibitions in this space, where we do a luxurious expo with selective partners and exclusive brands on display. I have also been associated with the print and publishing industry, where I worked for almost 10 years. This was a free Advertising Tabloid called AdMag. I overlooked the business aspect of the publishing house in 5 cities of the country. After gaining vast knowledge in various sectors, I have now launched my own platform called Archinet, an IP of Riverstone Networking Services, a carefully curated networking event for the industry.
The 3rd Edition of Archinet Hosted Siemens Home Appliances as the Title Sponsor, Sattva Automation as the Co-Sponsor & HYBEC as the Associate Sponsor. Many reputed brands from the Building Materials & Architectural Product Manufacturing Industries were happy to participate in this Expo.
Mr. Clyde Daniels has ambitious plans for Archinet. Where he wants to organise Luxury Expos not only in various cities of the country but he wishes to take his expo in various parts of the world and make Archinet truly an international brand. After taking the Expo to two cities, i.e. Mumbai And Bangalore, Archinet is planning to hold the expo in another 3 cities of India like Delhi, Hyderabad & Gujarat.
