The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) is all set to host its 4th Fragrance Business Summit 2025 in Mumbai on August 20. This year’s summit will build upon the momentum of its previous three editions, which have established it as a leading platform for the fragrance and flavor industry in India. The event aims to convene key stakeholders, including government leaders, industry CEOs, global experts, and academicians, to discuss and shape the future of this rapidly evolving sector.
The summit’s agenda is focused on critical themes designed to support India’s aspiration to become a global fragrance powerhouse. Key sessions will cover topics such as “Cultivating Aromas, Connecting Future,” “Positioning India as a Global Hub for Aroma Ingredients,” “Harmonizing Fragrance Safety Standards,” and “Building Skills through Global Partnerships.” These discussions are particularly vital for India, as it is a leading source of many essential aroma ingredients. The event will explore opportunities for innovation, fostering sustainability, and aligning with international safety standards to enhance consumer protection.
This summit provides a valuable opportunity for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), startups, and established players to gain crucial insights and network with thought leaders. It will also highlight the significance of skill development in perfumery and the role of research institutes like the Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP) in advancing the industry.
By focusing on these key areas, FICCI aims to support the industry’s growth, ensuring it not only meets but also sets global benchmarks. The event is a testament to the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders to create a more vibrant, competitive, and sustainable fragrance ecosystem in India.
