When the Global Potato Summit 2026 (GPS 2026) organisers opened registrations for the second edition of India's largest dedicated potato industry exhibition and conference, one company wasted no time. Fry and Bake Technologies Pvt Ltd — Gujarat's fast-rising manufacturer of complete snack food processing and frying line solutions — has confirmed its participation at the Global Potato Summit 2026, securing a prominent triple-stall position at Stall No. E-1-2-3 at the Mahatma Mandir Convention and Exhibition Centre in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
This early commitment signals more than just business enthusiasm. It reflects the growing strategic importance of the Global Potato Summit as a platform where equipment manufacturers, potato processors, potato cold storage guide operators, exporters, and agribusiness professionals converge to shape the future of India's potato industry. For Fry and Bake Technologies, it also represents a deepening relationship with an event that delivered substantial returns during its inaugural edition in December 2025.
Fry and Bake — Ready for the Global Potato Summit 2026
Confirming participation early for any major industry expo sends a powerful message to the market. In the case of Fry and Bake Technologies and the Global Potato Summit 2026, that message is unmistakable: the company sees this event as a cornerstone of its business development strategy for the Indian potato processing sector.
The decision to secure Stall No. E-1-2-3 — a high-visibility triple-stall configuration in the exhibition hall — highlights Fry and Bake's intent to make a significant impact at the Global Potato Summit 2026. This expanded booth space will allow the company to display its full range of potato processing and snack manufacturing equipment, conduct live demonstrations, and host one-on-one consultations with processors and entrepreneurs exploring new projects.
For the Global Potato Summit 2026 organisers — Media Today Group — Fry and Bake's early commitment is a strong vote of confidence in the event's value proposition, especially as GPS 2026 moves to its new venue at the Mahatma Mandir Convention and Exhibition Centre in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, from its inaugural location in Greater Noida.

What Fry and Bake Gained from the Global Potato Summit 2025
Fry and Bake Technologies' eagerness to confirm early for the Global Potato Summit 2026 is rooted in the tangible returns the company experienced at the inaugural Global Potato Summit 2025, held from 11–13 December 2025 at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida. The company was among the prominent exhibitors at GPS 2025 alongside major names in the potato processing industry.
The first edition of the Global Potato Summit was a landmark event for India's potato ecosystem. It attracted over 600 industry leaders, 200+ exhibiting companies, and delegates from more than 15 countries. The summit was inaugurated by Shri Shyam Singh Rana, Hon'ble Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of Haryana, and saw active institutional participation from APEDA, NHB, ICAR-CPRI, and several state governments.
The Global Potato Summit 2025 was a game-changer for us. The quality of visitors — serious processors, entrepreneurs, and international buyers — was exceptional. We connected with decision-makers who are actively planning new potato processing projects across India and abroad. That's why we did not hesitate to confirm our participation for GPS 2026 well in advance.
— Krishna Pandit, Director, Fry and Bake Technologies Pvt LtdFor Fry and Bake, the GPS 2025 experience delivered on multiple fronts. The company was able to showcase its full range of potato processing and snack frying equipment to a highly targeted audience. The summit's structured B2B networking sessions and business matchmaking events enabled direct conversations with potential buyers and project partners — something that general trade shows rarely achieve with the same level of focus.

Why the Global Potato Summit 2026 Matters for India's Potato Industry
The Global Potato Summit 2026 represents the continuation and evolution of what the inaugural GPS 2025 established — a comprehensive, internationally benchmarked platform dedicated exclusively to the potato value chain. The decision to shift the venue to Gandhinagar, Gujarat — the heart of India's potato processing and cold storage belt — adds a significant strategic dimension to GPS 2026.
Gujarat is home to some of India's largest potato processing companies, cold storage clusters, and snack manufacturing hubs. Hosting the Global Potato Summit 2026 in Gandhinagar brings the event closer to key industry stakeholders, processing facilities, and Gujarat's extensive potato farming regions. For equipment manufacturers like Fry and Bake — themselves based in Ahmedabad, just 25 km from Gandhinagar — this is effectively a home-ground advantage.
What GPS 2025 Achieved — Setting the Stage for 2026
The inaugural Global Potato Summit 2025 set a high benchmark. Organised by Media Today Group and held at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, the event brought together 600+ industry leaders, 200+ exhibiting companies, and delegates from over 15 countries. The summit featured the Indian Potato Industry Excellence Awards, high-level conference sessions on everything from seed innovation to export competitiveness, a dedicated Farmers' Forum led by the International Potato Center (CIP), and live farm demonstrations in Hapur, Uttar Pradesh.
GPS 2025 received strong institutional backing from APEDA, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, NHB, ICAR-CPRI, MIDH, CIP India, and multiple state governments. The event was inaugurated by Shri Shyam Singh Rana, Hon'ble Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of Haryana, signalling the government's recognition of the potato sector's economic importance.
The Global Potato Summit 2026 is expected to build on this foundation with an even larger exhibition footprint, expanded international participation, and a Gujarat-centric focus that brings the event closer to India's potato processing heartland.
