The Lohana International Business Forum (LIBF) is set to host LIBF Expo 2026 from January 30 to February 1 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. Designed as an inclusive platform, the Expo welcomes businesses, entrepreneurs, startups, investors, professionals, job seekers, and institutions from all backgrounds.
Spanning 1.7 lakh square feet, LIBF Expo 2026 will feature over 200 exhibitors across more than 20 sectors, including manufacturing, MSMEs, real estate, healthcare, technology, and education. The event promises strong global participation, with business delegations and entrepreneurs from Africa, the UK, Europe, the USA, the Middle East, Australia, and beyond. This international presence will create opportunities for cross-border partnerships, sourcing, investment, and joint ventures.
Satish D Vithalani, Chairman of LIBF, stated, “Our aim is to create a platform for global expansion, overseas partnerships, startup mentoring, and job creation. LIBF Expo 2026 is an opportunity-driven ecosystem encouraging trade and investment in Maharashtra and across India.”
Vijay Karia, Director of LIBF, added, “This edition will be our largest and most ambitious yet, bringing together business leaders, youth, the global Lohana community, and both Indian and international businesses on a single platform. IMC Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Institute of Directors are proud partners in this initiative.”
The Expo is designed as a multi-sector, multi-profession global convergence, connecting business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and institutions from over 36 countries, spanning 30+ industries and 32 professional sectors. Beyond traditional exhibitions, LIBF Expo 2026 operates under a non-profit framework, with any surplus supporting education and healthcare initiatives in India and abroad.
Following successful editions in Uganda (2023), Gandhinagar (2024), and Dubai (2025), the Expo aims to establish Maharashtra and Mumbai as a strategic hub for inclusive global business collaboration.
Operating under the Shree Lohana Mahaparishad, established in 1952, LIBF combines cultural heritage with professional growth. The organisation functions across 25 global zones, offering dedicated support through committees focused on education, healthcare, professional forums, youth engagement, women’s initiatives, sports, and political participation. Under the leadership of Satish D Vithalani, Shree Lohana Mahaparishad continues to strengthen community empowerment while facilitating global business networks.
