The Ideal MICE Destination in South India: Inside Clarks Exotica’s Corporate Edge

In 2025, Clarks Exotica Convention Resort & Spa has cemented its position as one of South India’s premier destinations for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE). With MICE contributing an impressive 51–55% of the resort’s overall revenue this year, Clarks continues to lead the way in hosting large-scale corporate gatherings, exhibitions, and residential conferences.

“Our strength lies in the scale and quality of experiences we deliver,” says Nilisha, Vice President  at Clarks Exotica. “From hosting intimate board meetings to managing seamless operations for 3,000+ guest events, our infrastructure and team are built for excellence. This year alone, we’ve hosted impactful events for Bharati Airtel, Aadarsh Group, BP Events, BIAL, Aryan Clothing and Arvind Fashion “

A Vision Beyond the Property

Deepak Kumar (Director of Sales), who plays a key role in Clarks’ MICE strategy, speaks about expanding the resort’s presence in the market:

“My focus has been to take the MICE potential of Clarks Exotica beyond our gates—into the boardrooms and event calendars of top corporate decision-makers. What we offer here is not just space, but a complete experience backed by service, scale, and reliability. The Ocean Convention Centre has become a powerful draw, and once clients see what we can deliver, the decision becomes easy.”

His hands-on approach—building relationships, understanding client needs, and showcasing the resort’s event capabilities—has helped bring in some of this year’s largest bookings.

The Ocean Convention Centre: Where Scale Meets Sophistication

At the heart of this MICE success is the Ocean Convention Centre (OCC), Clarks’ most ambitious infrastructure investment to date. With 72,000 sq. ft. of configurable event space, OCC accommodates:

  • 1,200-guest banquets

  • 3,000+ theatre-style conferences

  • Floating gatherings for up to 5,000 guests

Just 10 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport, OCC offers seamless access without compromising on ambiance. Surrounded by over 10,000 trees within a serene township, it is the only convention venue of its kind in Bangalore—a place where luxury meets nature.

“Ocean is not just a venue—it’s a vision realized,” says Nilisha. “It allows us to deliver unforgettable events at an extraordinary scale.”

So far in 2025, OCC has hosted multiple high-profile gatherings, including doctors’ conventions, destination weddings, and brand-led corporate events. Brands like Herbalife, Unacademy, Big Bee, and many others have already experienced what Clarks and OCC bring to the table.

Additional highlights:

  • Parking for over 1,000 vehicles

  • 151 well-appointed rooms for residential events

  • State-of-the-art AV and infrastructure

  • Expert in-house coordination team

As the industry continues to evolve, Clarks Exotica stands ready—with infrastructure, vision, and heart—to lead the next wave of MICE innovation in South India.
