The news: BCD Meetings & Events, one of the world's largest professional congress organizers (PCOs), has doubled its India revenue between 2024 and 2025, according to ET TravelWorld. The growth reflects expanding demand for international-standard event management services across India's corporate, association, and incentive travel sectors.
Why it matters for MICE operators: This signals that India's MICE market is attracting serious international investment and competition. As a PCO, BCD's expansion means Indian DMCs and event managers will see both opportunity—from partnerships and vendor relationships—and pressure to match global service standards. The market is clearly growing faster than many predicted, which could drive up venue prices, vendor costs, and talent expectations across the board.
The takeaway: Indian MICE operators should use this signal to benchmark their service delivery, pricing, and technology capabilities against global standards to remain competitive.
