Kokilaben Ambani to be guest of honour at a Mumbai festival

The festival season is a many splendoured thing in Mumbai, and along with its annual rituals of card sessions, wildly over the top dressing and fireworks, it also inevitably sees a spate of shopping festivals. This year's lot is heralded by the IMC Ladies Wing's annual Women entrepreneur's exhibition, which will take place next week and feature a cornucopia of everything that's necessary and unnecessary, and that gives the festive season its particular flavour.

Kokilaben Ambani, Rashmi Thackeray and Poonam Mahajan

And adding to this year's presentation, is art patron and philanthropist Pheroza Godrej, who has stepped in as advisory board member to the exhibition committee, and the fact the extravaganza will see more participation from stalls run by people in their twenties and several international participants as well. As for its guests of honour, we are informed, they are Smriti Irani, Kokilaben Ambani, Poonam Mahajan and Rashmi Thackeray.
