The country’s largest organic festival is back! Now in its fifth year, the Women Of India Organic Festival (organised by the Women And Child Development Ministry), is a platform for women entrepreneurs from all over India to showcase organic food and lifestyle goods.

And this time, the ministry has partnered with Bengaluru’s WilderFest to showcase vegan brands and products! The government recognizing and partnering with the vegan movement is a landmark step – and one that will help grow the market.

"We are very proud to be partnering with The Women & Child Development Ministry for the event to take veganism on a mainstream, national level. We are grateful to Mrs Maneka Sanjay Gandhi ma'am for giving us this opportunity. Presenting vegan brands at a ministry event in the capital is a big recognition for the vegan movement in India and another step in creating a vegan ecosystem."

Shweta Thakur, WilderFest

What You’ll Find

With over 500 participants, there’s plenty on display, from organic cereals, rice and pulses to skincare, fabric and jewellery. It's all organic, it's all good and your purchase empowers rural women! Plus, did we mention there's an on-site food court?

And, of course, WilderFest completes the lineup with carefully curated vegan products - from vegan sweets and plant milks to cruelty-free cosmetics and nut butters! 

  • Cruelty-free lipsticks from Disguise Cosmetics
  • Vegan mithai from Vijay Sweets 
  • Juices and nut milks from Raw Pressery
  • Nut butters from Jus' Amazin
  • Pesticide-free, eco-friendly coffee from Black Baza Coffee

Why You Should Attend

The fest supports rural women’s communities and gives organic culture a boost by making consumers aware of its benefits. Apart from the fact that you will be empowering hundreds of women growers, makers and artisans, you also get a chance to sample vegan food and discover vegan products!
 
And when we support vegan makers, we help take it mainstream. 

When & Where

The 9-day long festival runs from October 26th to November 4th at the Indira Gandhi National Centre For The Arts, Janpath Road, New Delhi. Entry is free!
