Event Management Services for Tier-2 City Venues
The Opportunity
Chandigarh's event management companies are reluctant to use available venues (Sector 25 rally ground) due to infrastructure limitations, traffic concerns, and poor amenities. Large events worth ₹5,000+ attendees are migrating to neighbouring Panchkula and Mohali, creating a service gap for professional event coordination tailored to emerging venues like Sarangpur.
Market Size
₹800–1,200 crore annual Indian event management market; Chandigarh-Panchkula-Mohali NCR region alone hosts 150–200 large events yearly (concerts, corporate gatherings, festivals) valued at ₹40–60 crore.

Offer end-to-end solutions: venue liaison, traffic/logistics coordination, vendor management, security, crowd control, post-event cleanup—positioning Sarangpur and similar venues as premium alternatives to congested Sector 34.
Event management commission: 10–15% of total event budget (₹5–20 lakh per event × 40–50 events/year = ₹2–10 crore)Venue tie-up fees: ₹2–5 lakh annual retainer from Sarangpur/Sector 25 management bodiesÀ la carte services: traffic management (₹1–2 lakh), crowd control training (₹30–50K), post-event logistics (₹50–100K per event)
