Informing the gathering about the rise in popularity of FAIRPRO year after year, Suresh Krishn, Convener  of FAIRPRO organising committee, said, “Even before the formal announcement of the show , the FAIRPRO 2012 website has seen 20,000 hits and more than 600 people have already registered for their entry using e-registration facility. We have seen FIARPRO growing from strength to strength each year. Being backed by trust and credentials of CREDAI, the buyers will be able to find the right choice for their need with 100% assurance and peace of mind.”
