Growth Outlook
Strong — India's wedding industry is growing at 15-20% per annum driven by rising disposable incomes, increasing aspirations for organized professional planning (vs. family-managed weddings), NRI diaspora demand, and the destination wedding boom. The premium and luxury segment is the fastest-growing sub-category. However, professionalization of the sector is still nascent — no national regulatory body, no standardized contracts, and heavy reliance on reputation make it a high-trust market. AI tools (mood board generators, vendor match platforms, budget AI) are entering but cannot replace on-ground execution and human trust management — the core of the role.
