Surajkund is the world's largest arts, crafts and cultural festival and is attended by more than one million visitors over a 12-day period.
When they got the invite to go again, Baddiley said the team thought "how cool it would be to go and showcase our little corner of the world".
Eight performers from within the village will take to the stage at Surajkund 2018 alongside about 270 other international delegates.
"They are all from the village, all whakapapa back to Whakarewarewa, but they are there to represent New Zealand, Rotorua and Whakarewarewa.
"It's not just about our brand, it's all about putting Rotorua on the map and on this trip we are collaborating with Rotorua Duck Tours."
It is Baddiley's first time visiting India.
"I am tremendously excited; it's a big privilege and an honour.
"India is an emerging market for New Zealand and it's of extreme importance in terms of tourism."
Before the Surajkund festival the team will travel to SATTE, India's flagship travel and tourism expo.
On February 9 they will perform for Pacific Day at the High Commision of New Zealand, a celebration honouring Waitangi Day in India.
"We are performing alongside other pacific nations," Baddiley said.
"We are going early on the day to put the hangi down, that's the kai for the day."
The trip will conclude with a performance at Delhi Technological University.
About 40,000 students and professionals attend the festival to see their favourite Indian folk and rock bands and top Bollywood performers.
"It's kind of bizarre to be part of the line up, but also totally awesome," Baddiley said.
