Speaking about the launch, Atul Pandey, Publisher, The Great Indian Wedding Book, said, “The Great Indian Wedding Book has always been about documenting Indian weddings at their very best and bringing together the people, ideas, craftsmanship and businesses behind them. With Edition 6.0, we wanted to create a stronger reflection of how the Indian wedding has evolved today, while continuing to showcase the exceptional talent that makes this industry distinctive. Launching the new edition at IBWM was particularly relevant because the book and the conclave share the same purpose: to give India’s wedding industry the recognition and platform it deserves.”
