The future of print at Pamex from 27 to 30 January

The Bombay Exhibition Centre is about to host Pamex 2026, and in the usual flurry of glossy brochures and optimistic pronouncements, one can discern the anxieties of an industry caught between two irreconcilable forces: the tactile, carbon-heavy legacy of ink on paper, and the hyper-efficient, data-driven mandate of Industry 4.0. The show’s promise, "bigger than ever," feels less like a boast and more like a necessary exorcism of doubt.
