India Retail Investors Expo, IIT Madras Research Park (31 Oct and 1 Nov 2026)

India Retail Investors Expo (IRIE) Season 3 opens in Chennai. The organiser describes it as a two-day retail investment exhibition and conference: stocks, mutual funds, gold, real estate, insurance, bonds, and other personal-finance stalls, plus masterclasses. Chennai is the first of five Season 3 stops (Amaravati, Coimbatore, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad follow). Headcounts such as “7,500+” for Seasons 1 and 2, “15,000+” for Season 3, and “Tamil Nadu’s biggest gathering” are the organiser’s claims.

When: Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November 2026. MeetGrow prints 10:00 AM–6:30 PM IST. The official register page titles the session grid 10:00 AM–6:00 PM and says timings can shift. The final line-up is shared with ticket holders.

Where: D7 Auditorium, IIT Madras Research Park, Kanagam, Taramani, Chennai 600113. The hall name and PIN are on the official Chennai page. MeetGrow adds Kanagam.

Community code

A WhatsApp note from +91 99580 63310 on 19 October 2026 says business people and communities can attend without paying, using promo code CMNITY100.

That code is not printed on the official Chennai page or the register page checked the same day. Apply it at checkout and confirm the amount is zero before you pay. The number above circulated the code. The organiser’s published desk is separate (below).

Passes

Booking: Register for Chennai

MeetGrow, checked 19 October 2026, prints three passes. Every pass on that table includes a digital badge, expo-hall access, and networking zones for both days.

The official Chennai page agrees that higher tiers unlock the conference, executive lunch, a VIP lounge, and priority seating. The register page also says “two full days of money masterclasses, included with every pass.” Those two lines do not match. Check which pass you are buying.

On 19 October 2026 the register page showed Diamond 271 left and Platinum 164 left, and said the counts update as passes sell. It did not print a Gold remaining count or the rupee prices. MeetGrow’s checkout widget showed a Gold remaining count the same day. Do not treat either snapshot as today’s stock.

After payment, the organiser says you get a QR pass on email and WhatsApp. Checkout on the register page is described as UPI, cards, or netbanking, powered by AllEvents.

Day 1 — Saturday 31 October

The register page calls this day “Foundations — banking, savings and first investments.”

Day 2 — Sunday 1 November

The register page calls this day “Action day — stocks, gold, bonds, crypto, awards and cultural evening.” No company names are printed on these slots.

Names on the booking page

The register page lists these people under “25+ market experts” and does not attach them to a clock time. MeetGrow labels the same list as speakers from past editions (Hyderabad 2024 and Bengaluru, January 2026). Treat them as published names, not a confirmed Chennai timetable.

Abhishek Agrawal (CFO, Embassy Office Parks REIT), Chaitanya Sampat (AVP, Share India Securities), Kishan Murjani Nair, CFA (Flameback Capital), Manish Kadam (Spider Software), Gaurav Garg (BlinkX by JM Financial), Sidhartha Satpathy (Mirae Asset Sharekhan), Vandana Jain (Nubra), Santhosh Kamatam (CoinSwitch PRO). MeetGrow’s longer list also names Niteen D (Anand Rathi International Ventures), Chetan Anand (Integrated Enterprises India), Ujjwal Ladha (Trading Smart Academy), Parth Khare (Alphabots), Avinash Rao (Alt DRX), Satish Kumar (Atum Capital), and Manjari Balu (Enrich Money).

MeetGrow’s Chennai page also names brands including Motilal Oswal, Share India, Alice Blue, Enrich Money, Casagrand, Mudrex, Volt Money, Margadarsi, SBI, Equitas, Anand Rathi, Sharekhan, ICICI Securities, and Choice International. A stall booking for this edition is not confirmed here.
