LIBF 2026 Bookings Begin: Mumbai Gears Up for India's Biggest Business Exhibition at Jio World Drive
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 24: In a major announcement that signals the start of one of India's most awaited business events, the organisers of the Leading India Business Fair (LIBF) 2026 officially opened bookings for the international exhibition at an event held in Mumbai. The exhibition is slated to take place in January 2026 at the ultra-modern Jio World Drive, located in the financial heart of Mumbai Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). LIBF 2026 is expected to be a powerhouse platform bringing together over 30 countries and 34 sectors under one roof positioning it as India's premier destination for business networking, partnerships, and innovation. Speaking at the announcement event, Mr. Vijay Karia, Director of LIBF, described the fair not just as an exhibition but as a 'complete business ecosystem.' He emphasized that LIBF 2026 is designed to deliver real outcomes: from customer acquisition and supply chain connections to financing and global collaborations. 'This is a platform where exhibitors and visitors alike can expect business not just visibility,' he said. A Global Marketplace for Business From established conglomerates and multinational corporations to MSMEs, start-ups, and financiers LIBF 2026 promises to be a diverse confluence of players from across the business spectrum. Sectors represented will include manufacturing, agritech, green energy, fintech, real estate, retail, and more. What sets this exhibition apart is its intentional focus on business conversion. Exhibitors won't just be showcasing, they'll be selling, partnering, funding, and building long-term associations. Visitors, too, will experience curated access to some of the most progressive, scalable, and investable Indian enterprises. Key features of LIBF 2026 include: • Access to a global audience of buyers and investors • Opportunities to discover and connect with new supply chain and distribution partners • Interactions with major financial institutions and funding bodies • A platform to explore cross-border trade and joint ventures The choice of Jio World Drive as the host venue reinforces the scale and prestige of the event. With its cutting-edge infrastructure, accessibility, and location in BKC — home to global banks, embassies, and top corporates the venue offers a high-end environment for serious business discussions and networking. Satish Vithalani, Chairman of LIBF, expressed great enthusiasm about what's ahead. 'We are inviting businesses of all sizes from MSMEs to multinationals — to book their space and be part of a transformative journey. This is where visibility meets viability,' he said. Referring to the overwhelming response from previous editions of LIBF, he added that the excitement surrounding 2026 is even more significant, given India's expanding role as a global business hub. LIBF 2026 comes at a pivotal moment for India. As the country continues to make strides toward becoming a manufacturing and export powerhouse, the exhibition is expected to act as a vital bridge connecting Indian businesses to global markets. With major policy tailwinds such as Make in India, Startup India, and a growing global appetite for Indian goods and services, the timing of LIBF couldn't be more apt. The event will serve as a stage to highlight India's capabilities and encourage inbound investment and collaborations. Bookings Now Open Stall reservations, partnership opportunities, and visitor registrations are now officially open. The organisers are encouraging early bookings to secure prime locations and access tailored networking benefits. Those interested in participating or attending can reach out via the official LIBF contact channels for more details on booth packages, sponsorship options, and conference schedules.

From Ashes to Action: OptiCloud Turns Digital and Energy Waste into Climate Action
Los Angeles faced historic wildfires early this year, destroying over 40,000 acres and 17,000 structures, and claiming 28 lives. OptiCloud's AI-driven platform combats digital waste, reducing cloud emissions and costs while supporting climate restoration and Indigenous-led forest protection Image courtesy of Vijay Karia/OptiCloud NEW YORK, May 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In January 2025, Los Angeles experienced one of the most catastrophic wildfire events in its history. The Palisades and Eaton fires, fueled by extreme weather conditions and human negligence, consumed over 40,000 acres, destroyed more than 17,000 structures, and claimed 28 lives. OptiCloud, a pioneering technology company, offered hope through its transformative approach to digital sanitation, cloud efficiency, and artificial intelligence (AI) sustainability. The connection between digital infrastructure and climate change is significant. With the digital age expanding rapidly, AI, cloud computing, and data storage have become essential to innovation, but with an environmental cost. Cloud storage and AI processing already consume more energy than the airline industry, and by 2030, this digital carbon footprint could double, intensifying the climate emergency. The digital sector, including massive data centers, now accounts for nearly 4 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, and its energy demand is accelerating. Yet nearly 50 percent of all cloud activity is wasted capacity—unused files, idle servers, and redundant processes that consume energy without purpose. Tackling this digital waste is not just a sustainability issue but an opportunity to transform how businesses operate. OptiCloud's business model introduces digital responsibility as a core business imperative. CEO Vijay Karia explains: "The real threat isn't just how much energy AI consumes, it's the mountain of digital waste we've normalized. Every unused file, idle server, and forgotten dataset quietly wastes energy while accelerating climate change.' OptiCloud's AI-powered platform introduces digital sanitation. It is an intelligent, scalable solution that decarbonizes cloud infrastructure, reduces energy consumption, and dramatically improves efficiency. It also empowers companies to adopt a circular digital economy: reducing waste, reinvesting savings, and redirecting value into real-world climate restoration efforts. By working with Indigenous communities to protect the Amazon rainforest—home to 80 percent of the planet's biodiversity—OptiCloud turns operational savings into environmental and social impact. Now, OptiCloud is channeling revenue into Indigenous-led forest protection, including support for communities in Pará, Brazil. As Puyr Tembe, an Indigenous leader, said: 'We must reforest both our land and our minds... Only together can we heal the Earth.' OptiCloud's groundbreaking approach to green computing helps businesses reduce cloud emissions by up to 50 percent and cut cloud costs by up to 60 percent. The company's solution was recently recognized with the prestigious COP29 AI for Climate Action Award, highlighting its global leadership in sustainable digital transformation. OptiCloud has taken the lead, and they invite people to join the movement to clean legacy infrastructure as new AI factories are introduced. This is so people can save while innovating responsibly. About OptiCloud OptiCloud is an award-winning green computing platform that combines AI optimization with environmental stewardship. Recognized at COP29 for its impact on reducing digital waste, the company supports organizations in achieving ESG goals while funding community-led climate resilience projects. OptiCloud's clients include Fortune 500 enterprises, governmental agencies, and NGOs across 12 countries.

OptiCloud Introduces its Climate Tech To Help Avoid Disasters Like the Los Angeles Wildfires
OptiCloud introduces an AI-powered "digital recycling" platform to combat climate change and prevent disasters like the recent California wildfires. The technology optimizes cloud infrastructure, reduces emissions, and reinvests savings into environmental projects. Image courtesy of Vijay Karia/OptiCloud PALO ALTO, Calif., April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OptiCloud, a leader in AI-powered green computing solutions, announced its platform with a 'digital recycling' concept, highlighting how climate technology mitigates environmental risks and prevents disasters. At the beginning of 2025, wildfires in Los Angeles, California, burned over 1.2 million acres, costing $4.7 billion in damages and displacing thousands of residents. These events show the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting ecosystems vulnerable to climate stressors, such as the Amazon rainforest. OptiCloud's CEO Vijay Karia shares, 'With the rapid rise of AI and data-intensive technologies, the challenge isn't just energy consumption; it's the staggering amount of digital clutter and waste that silently contributes to unnecessary emissions." OptiCloud's AI-driven platform tackles this challenge by optimizing cloud infrastructure efficiency, cutting energy waste in data centers, and redirecting financial savings toward grassroots environmental projects. The company's efforts for communities on Amazon and its leadership in pushing for the use of climate tech have gained international recognition, with OptiCloud winning the AI for Climate Action award from the United Nations at COP29. As Los Angeles recovers, the fires display the need for comprehensive climate action and innovative technological solutions. OptiCloud offers businesses a way to contribute to global environmental efforts while optimizing their operations.
