The Rs 2,000 crore beauty market in India is a buzz and growing at a tangible pace of 15 to 20 percent per annum. The professional market, on the other hand, is growing at a whopping 25 percent. To act as a catalyst, India Salon Pro and Beauty Market India is being held from January 31 to February 1, 2012 at The Renaissance in Powai. An event of mammoth proportions, it is being launched as an ideal podium for strategic and lateral thinking, meetings, exclusive seminars, and agreements. It would, however, build relationship with the key associates, which would be an added advantage.
