About Chemexil India

The Basic Chemicals, Cosmetics & Dyes Export Promotion Council (Chemexil) is an esteemed organization under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India. Established with the objective of promoting Indian chemical exports, Chemexil represents manufacturers and exporters of diverse chemical products, including dyes, pigments, cosmetics, and basic inorganic and organic chemicals.

Over the years, Chemexil has played a crucial role in facilitating trade relationships between Indian chemical producers and international buyers. By organizing trade shows, buyer-seller meets, and promotional events, Chemexil fosters business growth and expands market reach for Indian exporters. Among these initiatives, the annual Buyer-Seller Meet in Thailand aims to connect Indian chemical manufacturers with potential Thai buyers, fostering mutually beneficial trade relations. However, despite the event’s significance, past editions faced substantial challenges, limiting their impact and reach.

Challenges

While the Buyer-Seller Meet was a well-intentioned initiative, past events had struggled with low participation from the Thai business community. Typically, only 15-20 Thai buyers attended, leading to a limited return on investmentfor Indian exporters. Several factors contributed to this lackluster turnout:

  1. Limited Local Outreach – The Indian Embassy and Chemexil relied on conventional methods of inviting Thai buyers, which did not generate substantial engagement.
  2. Lack of Awareness – Many Thai businesses were either unaware of the event or did not fully understand its value proposition.
  3. Absence of Pre-Confirmed Attendees – Previous editions suffered from last-minute confirmations, resulting in poor event planning and execution.
  4. Inadequate Targeting of Thai Industries – The event lacked a structured approach to identifying and inviting relevant Thai companies genuinely interested in Indian chemical products.
  5. Low Confidence from Indian Exporters – Given the poor turnouts in previous years, Indian manufacturers were skeptical about the event’s effectiveness in expanding their market reach in Thailand.

Recognizing these challenges, His Excellency Ambassador Harsh V. Shringla sought a transformational approachto revamp the event. This is where Ande Aditya and his team at Aditya Group stepped in to ensure a complete turnaround.

Solution

Aditya Group, led by Ande Aditya, took up the challenge with a bold promise: to bring a minimum of 100 Thai buyers to the event. Leveraging their deep-rooted connections, strategic outreach, and event management expertise, the team devised and executed a comprehensive solution:

  1. Targeted Market Research – Aditya Group analyzed Thailand’s chemical industry to identify key businesses that would benefit from Indian chemical products. This helped in creating a focused list of potential buyers.
  2. Personalized Buyer Engagement – Instead of relying on generic invitations, the team employed a personalized outreach strategy, engaging with companies through calls, emails, and in-person meetings.
  3. Pre-Event Confirmations – To avoid last-minute dropouts, Aditya Group secured firm commitments from buyers before the event to ensure a high turnout.
  4. Strategic Marketing and Promotion – Leveraging social media, digital platforms, and industry networks, the event was widely promoted to increase visibility and credibility.
  5. Optimized Event Planning – The event was structured to facilitate smooth networking, ensuring that Indian exporters had productive interactions with Thai buyers.

The meticulous planning and execution by Aditya Group resulted in an extraordinarily successful Buyer-Seller Meetat The Westin Grand, Bangkok. The event delivered significant benefits:

    1. Unprecedented Buyer Turnout – A record 123 Thai buyers attended the event, far exceeding the previous turnout of 15-20 attendees. This was a game-changer for Chemexil and the Indian Embassy.
    2. Enhanced Business Opportunities – With 35 Indian companies showcasing their products, the event facilitated meaningful B2B discussions, leading to potential trade deals and collaborations.
  • Increased Credibility for Future Events – The remarkable success of this event reaffirmed the credibility of Chemexil and the Indian Embassy in Thailand, ensuring greater participation in future editions.
  1. Stronger Indo-Thai Trade Relations – The meet strengthened business ties between Indian exporters and Thai buyers, contributing to bilateral trade growth in the chemical sector.
  2. Ambassador’s Appreciation – The Indian Embassy, led by His Excellency Ambassador Harsh V. Shringla, highly commended the efforts of Ande Aditya and Aditya Group for executing an event that set a new benchmark for effectiveness and success.
