KOHIMA, Oct 23: Indigenous entrepreneurs will get an opportunity to showcase their products and expand their businesses at the 27th Hornbill Night Carnival, which will be held as part of the Kohima Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (KCCI) 50th Golden Jubilee celebrations.
The 10-day carnival will provide a platform for local businesses to reach new customers, promote indigenous products and test new business ideas.
KCCI announced that stall application forms will be available at its office from October 26, with November 7 as the last date for submission.
