The Intralogistics & Warehousing Expo 2025 (IWEXPO) is scheduled to take place from 22–24 May 2025 at the Pune International Exhibition & Convention Centre, promising to bring together more than 200 exhibitors and an expected 10,000+ supply-chain professionals. Organised by Future Market Events, this eighth edition will showcase the latest in material-handling, automation, digital warehousing and sustainable infrastructure—positioning Pune as a western India logistics hub.
Future Market Events has once again demonstrated its industry‐leading expertise in orchestrating large‐scale trade exhibitions, with IWEXPO 2025 already exceeding expectations before doors open. Their meticulous planning is evident in the record number of over 200 carefully vetted exhibitors and a diverse speaker lineup. At the same time, robust delegate registrations, approaching 10,000 supply-chain professionals, showcase the event’s relevance and reach.
Intralogistics & Warehousing Expo is becoming India’s premier show for building intelligent warehouses, seamless supply chains and a world-class logistics ecosystem—with thousands of live solutions on display and unmatched opportunities to connect with supply-chain professionals nationwide. In an exclusive interview, Machine Maker spoke with Anuj Mathur, Managing Director of Future Market Events, to bring you a special feature on what to expect at this year’s edition, from 22–24 May 2025 at PIECC, Moshi, Pune.
AI-Powered Automation Takes Centre Stage
“AI-powered robotics and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are the headline attractions this year,” says Anuj Mathur, Managing Director of Future Market Events. Attendees can look forward to live demonstrations of AMRs navigating complex racking systems, intelligent sortation conveyors and vision-guided picking stations. Mathur emphasises that “for a country with the scale and diversity of India, these innovations aren’t just impressive—they’re essential,” as they enable real-time decision-making, reduce manual errors and dramatically boost throughput.
A dedicated Automation Pavilion will highlight end-to-end AI solutions—from path-planning algorithms to fleet-management dashboards—underscoring IWEXPO’s role in bringing robotics from pilot trials into full-scale operations. With e-commerce, Q-commerce and domestic manufacturing growth stretching supply-chain capacities, “automation is no longer optional—it’s a competitive necessity,” Mr Mathur asserts.
He notes that AI-driven intralogistics bring “consistency, traceability and resilience into the heart of operations,” empowering businesses to scale seamlessly across metro hubs and emerging Tier II/III markets. Delegates will see how real-time data analytics and predictive algorithms can forecast demand spikes, optimise labour deployment and preempt bottlenecks—shifting operations from reactive problem-solving to proactive planning.
Diversified Attendees & Emerging Growth Segments
IWEXPO’s audience has evolved from traditional warehousing operators to a broad spectrum, including cold-chain specialists, 3PLs, agri-logistics firms and last-mile innovators. “This year, urban micro-fulfilment centres and logistics startups are driving growth,” highlights Mathur. Their presence—many choosing IWEXPO for product unveilings such as modular dark-store kits and blockchain-enabled traceability solutions—demonstrates the expo’s expanding footprint in next-generation supply-chain models.
Complementing the exhibition floor, IWEXPO’s Knowledge Sessions feature over 30 expert panels and hands-on workshops. The Warehousing & Supply Chain Summit will convene more than 80 industry leaders from companies like Zomato, Zepto, DHL, Flipkart, Nestlé and Philips to share actionable strategies for agile, customer-centric fulfilment.
“Our sessions at IWEXPO are about enabling real conversations on how to implement these technologies at scale,” says Anuj Mathur. New Leadership Dialogues offer C-suite executives an intimate forum to debate policy shifts and sustainability mandates. At the same time, Open House Workshops deliver practical tactics—from optimising warehouse layouts to integrating renewable-energy microgrids and dark-store operations.
