India - PALME India 2008, which will be held from 3-5 October at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai has already signed-up industry majors such as Harman Pro, Modern Stage/Philips Lighting, Meyer Sound and Coda Audio. Modern Stage/Philips Lighting have booked over 450sq.m of floor space, with a distinct Bollywood theme. All of Modern Stage's principle companies will be represented, ranging from Vari-Lite, Elgin Electronics, Stark Illumination, Philips Lighting and Studio Due from Italy.

However, while the Bollywood film industry is the central entertainment focus, the events industry also continues to record dramatic growth. With over 8% GDP growth, India's main conurbations and resorts are witnessing a boom in leisure and tourism infrastructure. To provide specific platforms for both of these distinct areas, PALME India features two separate but complementary vertical shows, Install India and Event 360, which operate under the brand umbrella of PALME India.
