the fighting. i finished welcome to. it's good to have you with us the great big indian wedding is being slimmed down by a poorly performing economy that is consumer spending in india is dropping and that among other factors is having an impact on how much couples are willing to shell out for their big day with the result that those who would have wanted celebrations last at least a week now manage with just a couple of days it's heartbreaking i know but when the past strings are tight the budgeting has to begin. bride to be punchy meyer thought she'd already picked her dream dress but after taking a closer look at their budget and her fiance decided to make some savings meaning

another trip to the clothes rack. bunch of being the markets are not at right now and there is a little recession eating guys way way on so i'm sitting there starving fazio you give punches you try to bite down on the course by effectively going to go at it but say. indian weddings are renowned for being lavish glitzy affairs with hundreds or even thousands of guests partying for days on end but despite being seen as recession proof the industry has also a foreign victim to india's slumping economy only it used to be the old week long weddings has not been going to work it was just one or one in our view over the years in the entire families being dreaming about the one day when my mate and would get married and they've been saving things for that be the 2nd to have the major said by the wedding side of the truth to be 2000 people in love with the deal

still no 70800 scaling back on the big day can impact friendships and social standing people who normally make the guest list now find themselves left off it for another bride to be mandvi to kuranda it's a real worry. if all the business is you look over and look at an event in india i now saw you knowing that it really effects each and every family it doesn't only effect the bride in the room it also affects not siblings around that a little is that down because then what happens we start you know putting the cars down the picture perfect wedding maybe getting a slim down but it still sure to be full of all the color and emotion that's the whole mark of any marriage in india. let's bring in 3 shonda said vonnie he directed have dreams crafter right exact his company based on by the shot dragica join us now due to the slowdown in the indian economy couples are having to cut

back on their wedding expenses how exactly are they going about doing this. economy's on a little bit of a slowdown and i think it all ends up getting into the right industry not directly but a little indirectly so it means in general are used to you know saving money for the children's managing it sort of in their blood to save money from the to the from the time a child is born for the grand celebrations of the kids ready but what happens is that this money is actually not liquid always i mean it's always but in stocks and in real estate or whatever else they might bump that money but then with the prices of everything going down and that sort of money becomes non-liquid have a lot of point so the funds that are deployed towards the wedding tend to go down and we're seeing that happening. in the wedding industry as well so white people are you know taking their time to. sort of invest. you know that they're digging it

and to put money in. and you know kind of keep their status in that the other services within the readings and to get affected so they would spend a little less money on say the decor aspect of it they would probably reduce the amount of money that they spend on i'll call it probably you know take the lot and brands that. and and and then they probably go from an a plus artist to an illustrator to be to be listed as foreman there at least that's that's someplace we're seeing the major impact coming in what does that mean for companies such as yours clearly weddings are very important to end their lives are you able to do never the extravagance that people are demanding off you but at a to put it. no i don't think that is really possible because work cost money it costs money so we have seen a cut back in terms of budget of every individual client from india. did what how

do we have as a company is that we've done sort of focused on doing a lot more bodies in quantity and also focused on getting the readings from the overseas market into india so we've focusing a lot on and already who are looking to come back to the roots to get mattered you spoke about quantity you have to start sort of talk about that just sort of us can get a clearer picture of what is the biggest wedding with the biggest number of people you're all of ever organized so we've organized a writing for 25000 people as well so i mean that's just one of them of people so it's it's really not about how much money people are actually part of the event it's about how extravagant you can go to really create that experience for even $200.00 people so we've had weddings where we've had only 200 people attending but the scale of the writing is it's massive like i mean when the art is the performing it's like it's like the kind of art as

a performer writing these days and other kind would you who would buy a ticket and go and watch a concert so that's the scale at which the ratings grow in india quite a scare version surviving thanks so much for laying it out for us. from weddings to ones that don't are not. increasing numbers of child marriages are putting the health and future of many young women at risk despite a legal age of 21 3rd of readings are between teenagers the government wants to end such marriages back 2030 but tackling its root causes is a serious challenge. how young is too young to marry 16 2 if you ask. that's the age at which she ran off to where her boyfriend remains have been making the rounds in her village and ashes to a wedding as a way to legitimise have relationship soon after she quit school and fell pregnant
