Six working practices sit behind every programme.

Get a proposal
  • A single point of contact, end to end

    You deal with one person from the first brief to the final settlement.

  • Hospitality relationships that hold

    Ties with hotels and venues across India, built since 2009. Those relationships help us check availability, negotiate terms and resolve changes quickly.

  • Creative ideas backed by detailed planning

    Clear timelines and detailed pre-planning are settled first, so the creative work is easier to do well.

  • One set of tools for the group

    Registration, delegate communication, rooming, transport and schedules sit on the same tools, so the whole team works from the same up-to-date information on a large group's movement.

  • Multi-city programmes

    One product launch evening ran in 40 cities over 64 days for Transasia, tracked from a central control room.

  • A plan B before it is needed

    Every programme carries a plan B before it needs one. Most clients never see it used.

What clients say about ICE India

In their own words, from HR, marketing and sales heads and CXO offices.

  • We worked with ICE India for Confluence, our annual global partners meet. There were 4 other agencies who were pitching for this event and we finally chose ICE India due to their thorough understanding of our needs and the innovative ideas which they suggested for the event. Since this was the first time that we were working with ICE India for such a large scale event, we were a bit skeptical, but Mufaddal and his team were involved in every small aspect of the event and executed it seamlessly. The biggest thing that they bring to the table is the organized way in which they work, which leads to minimum last minute issues, which we all know is bound to happen in a large scale event. All in all it was a very good experience working with them.

  • Dear Mufaddal & Shreya, A sincere note of thanks to you both for supporting us in curating and facilitating such a wonderful event for our team. As we said when we first appointed ICE, this is the first but definitely not the last of our annual events which we hope to host every year henceforth. Being our first employee rewards and recognition ceremony, we had the following objectives: A professional look and feel, Effective branding to showcase the products within our portfolio for our employees to re-visit, On-brand and useful merchandise for our team to take away, Team engagement that would leave the team motivated, energised and raring to go for the next 365 days ahead (the Drum Circle activity left the team nothing short of mesmerised)! You both delivered on all accounts! The approach was professional, time sensitive and you offered us solutions within our specified requirements. The event was executed seamlessly and made our employees go home feeling truly valued. Mufaddal, I must also add, I highly respect the fact that you personally get involved and were physically present and more so available for any concerns we raised for the entire duration of the event. A friendly yet confident and experienced approach clearly makes the team at ICE stand out in the event management sector and we would not hesitate in contacting the team again for future events. Thank you again.

  • Sailors’ Society is an international Maritime Charity that host events and have projects all over the globe. This was our first event in India and we came to ICE for event support. They were very professional in their approach and advised from concept through to delivery. Without their help, we would have struggled to get our event right. Mufaddal was always happy to help, even when plans changed last minute and whole event concepts had to be re-thought. We will hopefully be doing another event in India and we would be happy to work with ICE Events again. Friendly and confident in their approach, we were happy that we had chosen the correct company to work with us on our Sailors’ Society Dinner.

  • The acronym ICE stands for Impressive, Capable, and Efficient. It was so calm and well-managed that they were able to handle the whole event from scratch. The company is experienced in handling things such as negotiations, customisation, and creativity. Our event was managed by ICE India in such a way that our client was unstoppable in appreciating it. It is Mufaddal who is the backbone of ICE India and he has a wonderful team to support him in managing any event. We had a great time working with ICE India, and I am sure they will go far in this industry. A big thank you to the team at ICE India.

  • Dear Mufaddal & ICE team,

    I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the amazing job you did in organizing our all-company offsite in Goa. From start to finish, it was a seamless and enjoyable experience. Your team was a pleasure to work with, and I was thoroughly impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond.

    Mufaddal, throughout the planning stages, you were incredibly responsive and proactive in addressing any questions or concerns we had. You provided us with valuable insights and recommendations that helped us create a customized program that perfectly met our needs for a good balance between team building, local experiences and fun.

    During the event, your team was exceptional in their coordination and execution. They were always available to help and ensure everything was running smoothly. I appreciate you being there to supervise everything and act as a point of contact throughout the event, going out of your way to accommodate any last-minute needs or changes. Your personal involvement really helped us deliver a memorable and meaningful offsite.

    Overall, I am thrilled with the experience your team provided us.

  • Dear Mufaddal and Shreya, This was our first event and we approached ICE India for support. You both were very calm, composed and able to make decisions at once, quickly. You were able to understand our needs and always happy to help even when the plan changes last minute. You are very organized in your work which leads to minimum last minute issues – which we all know are bound to happen. We had a fantastic experience and were treated with thorough professionalism right from planning, organizing and executing the event. It was a fabulous experience working with you both and we cannot thank you enough for executing it so well. Kind regards, Gita

  • Mufaddal & his team gave us a new insight & a different perspective about our event. They showcased it beautifully, gave us invaluable tips and made it a huge success. Our event is a multi-faceted one and not easy to understand & implement. They were very professional, creative and worked hard to meet our deadlines. Thank you very much Mufaddal and all the best to you & your team.

  • Mufaddal and his team from ICE India were incredibly professional. They understood our requirements and took over right from the word GO, giving us time to focus on other aspects of event planning. The level of comfort we developed with the ICE India team was very good. I would also like to take a moment to appreciate the stand by staff for taking care of all last minute errands. All-in-all a great experience and I would highly recommend their services.

  • I've had the pleasure of working with ICE India on multiple events in the past 5 years. Mufaddal gives a special touch to every event with his innovative ideas, personalized service and kick­ass execution! The ICE India team is easily accessible and attentive to our needs. I've found them to be very organized, creative and thoughtful of all aspects leading up to the event and the event day itself. Mufaddal gets personally involved in all matters from ideation to execution and uses his experience to execute all events seamlessly and always has a "plan B" in place for any potential issues. They have a good vendor partner group and have been able to accommodate all event planning seamlessly, exceeding our expectations every time. I would highly recommend ICE India for event planning and have referred them to other companies in my contact sphere.

  • All of your assistance was invaluable to us! Time has flown since we returned from our offsite to Pattaya in February but we did want to thank team ICE India, especially Mufaddal, who organized everything for us in such an excellent way. Everything was perfect and professionally planned considering our budget, time constraints, likes and dislikes. Our specifications were met and you also came up with better and excellent suggestions. Thank you for your help in all the arrangements done for our offsite.

  • We have been associated with ICE India for more than 5 years to manage our Annual Customer Networking Event. Mufaddal has an eye for detail and perfection. As our audience is more or less the same every year, we need new concepts and ideas every year. Mufaddal is our “go to man” for creative ideas. We strongly believe he thinks “out of the box”. We have been in a tough situation during one of our events. We thank Mufaddal for making last minute arrangements to ensure that the show goes on flawlessly. This could not have been possible without his strong network and equity that he has built over the years. Kudos to team ICE India. Keep up the great work. Wish you more success in years to come.

  • ICE India has been managing our corporate travel incentives since 2012. As a corporate our requirements are usually specific, involve a last minute rush, lot of back and forth on dates, hotels, number of travelers, etc. Through all of this, it's a pleasure dealing with Mufaddal and his team for the way they manage the trip and the group. The best part is the personalized service and the rapport our group shares with Mufaddal by the end of the trip. All the best!

  • We engaged the services of ICE India for managing our Annual Meet at Hotel Novotel Hyderabad. We have been dealing with ICE India for many events and the fact that we have engaged them numerous times is an indicator of our satisfaction of their standards of service. The principle of the company, Mr. Mufaddal Dahodwala, personally gets involved in the event, right from the planning stage until execution. He adds tremendous value by giving his inputs on what & how to be done. His personal touch to the events is truly appreciated. The Hyderabad event was very successful and much appreciated by the attendees, a smooth flowing event without hiccups.

  • I first met Mufaddal and ICE India in 2011 when I wanted to stage a charity event called Footsteps 4 Good in Mumbai on October 2nd. I contacted a few event agencies but luckily I chose ICE because of their competitive edge and commitment to the cause. From the outset Mufaddal was enthusiastic and supportive. He worked tirelessly to make the event a success, and of great benefit to local NGOs. Without the professionalism of ICE the event wouldn't have gone off so smoothly. In 2012 a storm raged the night before the event but somehow team ICE rebuilt holding fences and directed the participants away from the flooded areas. From then on he and I have worked to promote Footsteps to make it an annual event.

I grew up in hospitality. Process is not bureaucracy. It is the reason nothing needs fixing at 2am.

A client once left us for another agency. After their event I asked what they remembered most about working with that agency. They said it was their presence of mind when their backs were against the wall. I asked whether they'd ever seen that side of me. They said no, never. That is the point. Most agencies sell you their presence of mind when it all goes wrong. We plan so that moment never arrives.
