Digital platform introduced to assist exhibitors, buyers, and delegates with event navigation, meetings, and real-time updates

The government has launched the Bharat Tex 2026 Event App to support AI-driven networking and business matchmaking during Bharat Tex 2026, according to an official statement.

The digital platform, launched by Neelam Shami Rao, Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, is designed to help exhibitors, buyers, international delegates, speakers, sourcing consultants, partners, and visitors manage participation and engagement during the event.

According to the statement, the Bharat Tex 2026 Event App has been developed as a comprehensive digital companion for participants attending the event.

The platform enables users to access event information, discover exhibitors, schedule meetings, navigate the venue, capture leads, access knowledge sessions, and receive real-time updates through a single interface.

The government stated that one of the key features of the app is an AI-powered smart assistant designed to provide 24x7 conversational support for attendees.

Users can ask event-related questions in simple language and receive information on schedules, venue details, directions, and other key aspects relevant to both domestic and international participants.

The app also supports structured networking and business engagement through dedicated meeting modules. These features allow users to identify relevant business contacts, schedule meetings, manage availability, receive meeting requests, and track interactions.

In addition, the platform includes a QR-based lead capture system that enables exhibitors and participants to scan digital badges and save contact details for follow-up communication.

Other features include exhibitor discovery tools with structured search and filtering, advanced navigation support across Bharat Mandapam with floor plans and booth location services, and access to live event agendas and knowledge sessions.

Bharat Tex Federation is organizing the event in collaboration with 11 textile export promotion councils and industry bodies, with support from the Ministry of Textiles.

According to the report, Bharat Tex 2026 is aligned with the Prime Minister’s 5F vision — Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign — and aims to position India as a global textile sourcing and investment hub.
