Growth in new markets requires more than ambition. It requires access.

About Meeraki Global
Where Expansion Meets Execution
Meeraki Global is a global exhibition management and market access company helping businesses, governments, and trade organisations expand into new markets with confidence.
We specialise in the regions where opportunity is growing fastest — connecting our clients to the right platforms, the right stakeholders, and the right opportunities through strategic exhibitions, trade delegations, and market access programs.
From securing exhibition space and delivering world-class stands to facilitating executive introductions and managing complex international activations, we provide the infrastructure that allows organisations to enter new markets efficiently and effectively.
Today, companies across North America work with Meeraki Global to build visibility, relationships, and commercial momentum across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and beyond.
Our Story
Meeraki Global was founded in 2022 by Deep Karani and Sonakshi Gandhi to solve a specific problem: North American companies had the ambition to expand internationally, but often lacked the access, local context, and on-the-ground support needed to move with confidence.
Backed by more than 15 years of experience across global marketing, exhibitions, and international business development, our founders built Meeraki to close that gap. We launched with one goal in mind: to help growth-focused organizations enter new markets through strategic exhibitions, meaningful partnerships, and trusted local relationships.
The name itself reflects how we work. Meraki is a Greek word that means to do something with soul — to leave a piece of yourself in your work. The extra “E” in Meeraki was intentionally added by the founders, a quiet reminder that relationships, trust, and people would always sit at the centre of the business.
What began as a focused operation supporting North American companies in the Middle East has evolved into a global platform for exhibition management, trade delegations, and market access. Today, we help businesses, governments, and trade organizations build visibility, create partnerships, and unlock commercial opportunities across some of the world’s most dynamic markets.
The meaning behind the name has never changed. Every event we manage, every delegation we lead, and every introduction we facilitate is built with the same commitment that inspired the company from day one: to do meaningful work, with care, and with purpose.
How We Deliver Results
Our work is built around four pillars — designed to convert event presence into real business progress.
Strategic Event Advisory
We identify the platforms that match your goals — and secure roles that maximize visibility and credibility. From exhibition space and speaking slots to sponsorships and turnkey builds, we align your participation with commercial outcomes.
We’ve helped clients land center-stage roles at LEAP and Black Hat, gaining visibility in front of regulators, investors, and strategic buyers.
B2B & B2G Matchmaking
We connect you directly with the decision-makers who matter — whether you’re seeking buyers, public-sector partners, or ecosystem players.
Our curated meetings have helped clients fast-track market entry, unlock pilots, and build long-term government relationships.
Media & Influence Platforms
We ensure your brand is seen, heard, and remembered — through on-site interviews, earned media, video content, and targeted PR.
From national press coverage to post-event campaigns, we help clients build visibility that extends beyond the venue.
Managed Events & Delegations
We plan and deliver high-touch experiences — from investor dinners and trade missions to press briefings and private showcases.
Our delegations have led to MoUs, new contracts, and multi-year growth partnerships in key markets.
