Probir Poddar, Vice President Sales and Marketing East of Fenesta, one of the participant exhibitors said, “Fenesta is here basically to create awareness and to tell people that quality products do exist in Nepal.” He explained, “What I see in Nepal is that there is a lot of excitement about new things but the quality degradation is very rampant, and it is very difficult for a lay customer to understand the difference in true quality of the products that are offered. So, we feel that there is a clearly defined target segment in Nepal which we can cater to because we are a super-brand in India. People have voted us as one of the best and it does make a lot of difference. There are people in Nepal who appreciate quality and it is our commitment towards them which is why we are here.”
