OCCI Participates in Franchise India Expo 2025

New Delhi, 18 May (ONA) — Oman Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (OCCI) today took part in the 21st Franchise Exhibition held in New
Delhi, Republic of India.

The Sultanate of Oman’s delegation was headed by Eng. Hamoud
Salim Al Saadi, Second Deputy Chairman of the OCCI Board of Directors,
Chairman of the OCCI Commercial Excellence Centre. Eleven Omani trademarks
participated in the event alongside the OCCI.

Oman’s participation in the expo reflects the country’s keenness to
explore franchising opportunities in the Indian market, consolidate
international trade ties and encourage the Omani business brands to expand into
new markets abroad, in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040, which
underscores the importance of empowering the private sector and expanding its
global presence through strategic partnerships and innovative, value-added
projects.

Al Saadi pointed out that Oman’s participation in the New
Delhi Franchise Exhibition was aimed to convert pioneering ideas into business
models capable of expanding in global markets.

Al Saadi underlined the significance of franchising as one
of the most practical models for enabling entrepreneurs to expand safely and in
an organized manner. Franchising, he added, constitutes a pillar for the growth
of an economy based on innovation and entrepreneurship.

Al Saadi said that India is one of the largest and
fastest-growing markets in Asia. He explained that the Indian market represents
an important gateway for Omani companies seeking expansion, notably within the
context of the strong historical relations between the Sultanate of Oman and
the Republic of India and amid the scope of economic integration between the
two countries.
