"WCE@Diwali has started on a strong footing and is turning to be a worthy extension to WCE's already established presence. We had over 50 participating brands across 10 industry sectors including white goods, holidays, healthcare, entertainment, gifting, edutainment and sports. Discovery Kids had launched their Transformers brand successfully at the expo. We had participation from Crompton Greaves and Bajaj Electricals which are industrial giants in their area. Also, Arsenal Soccer Schools India chose WCE for their marketing as well which brings sports and children to the limelight in this festive season. We hope to do this event every year with more and more brands catering to children", shared Rahul Gupta, Director and CEO, Creative Children Media (P) Ltd.
